Christmas lottery A fiver for young people: calendar advance sales start!

The anticipation of the contemplative Christmas season is growing, and the Christmas lottery “A fiver for young people” is entering its twelfth round. This fine campaign, which is organized by the Lions Club Müritz and the Rotary Club Waren/Müritz, has already become a tradition and is very popular. The proceeds from this lottery flow into valuable projects for children and young people in the region, which distributed over 353,000 euros to 115 different projects last year.

The new projects that will benefit from this year's lottery are as diverse as they are important. Those supported include the “Young Morizan Meal,” where fourth-graders are given an example of good manners in restaurants. The summer camp of the SKV Müritz e. V. for around 200 children is supported, as well as a ceramics course at the Friedrich Dethloff School in Waren. Furthermore, a meeting room will be created in the Röbel youth center, a children's and youth fire department will be founded in Vielist and a curling rink will be set up in Malchow.

Dedicated supporters

A special highlight is the new calendar motif, which was designed by a talented fourth grade student at the Peeneschule Groß Gievitz. This means that the winning drawing not only receives recognition, but also brings 300 euros to the class fund - a small incentive to further promote the children's creative potential.

The role of lotteries in financing social projects should not be underestimated. As below deutsches-ehrenamt.de As illustrated, significant amounts of money from lotteries flow into socially important areas such as education, culture and environmental protection. The awareness that each participating person not only has a chance of winning, but also actively contributes to promoting these projects, makes participating in the Christmas lottery even more attractive.

Overall, the Christmas lottery “A Fiver for Youth” remains an important pillar of support for young people in the region. Anyone who is interested should not miss the opportunity to buy a calendar surprise from October 27th to November 24th and at the same time make a contribution to the community.
