Once again, it became clear how wide-ranging the topics can be. Presenter Klaus Dittrich led the audience through the tight programme in his usual charming and entertaining manner, but did not forget to point out how important donations are for the work of the projects - after all, for most of them they mean a degree of planning security.
Reinhold Jost, Saarland Minister for the Environment and Consumer Protection, and Sören Meng, District Administrator of Neunkirchen, were impressed by the diversity of the projects and the commitment of those responsible. Both also emphasised their gratitude for a total donation of this amount, which will benefit their own federal state.
"This funding campaign also brings back a great deal of credibility - in the form that the much-cited entrepreneurial commitment is not just a cliché, but can be a reality. This campaign also stands for the fact that economic success can not only be good for your own pocket, but also for others. Here you can see that entrepreneurs consciously want to give something back. The Winter/Schäfer owner family looks where help is needed," said Jost.
Meng added: "The message sent out by the owners is that everyone can do something in their own area - even on their own doorstep and on a small scale. Great work is being done here and once again proves that it is worth getting involved. We need more entrepreneurs who feel and fulfil this kind of responsibility."

A quarter of a million goes to the Saarland
On 26 October, the proWIN foundations hosted the second charity gala at their academy in Landsweiler-Reden.
Everyone can do something in their own area - even on their own doorstep and on a small scale.
The shareholders of proWIN are involved far beyond the pro Saarland campaign. Two foundations organise the diverse aid at regional, national and international level: the proWIN Foundation focuses on supporting children in need at home and abroad, while the proWIN pro nature Foundation is committed to nature conservation worldwide.
The projects that were supported at the gala were selected in accordance with the foundation regulations of the two proWIN foundations.
