21,500 euros for local DJK clubs: Together for sport and integration!
The DJK sports support association in the Eichstätt diocese has once again demonstrated its support for local sports clubs. In a ceremonial setting in the DJK Enkering sports center, funding commitments were handed over to a total of 20 DJK clubs. With an impressive 21,500 euros, the support association is providing a breath of fresh air into the coffers of the associations in the diocesan catchment area, which extends across three administrative districts: Middle Franconia, Upper Palatinate and Upper Bavaria. The clubs can look forward to numerous measures, ranging from the construction of new playgrounds to climate protection projects.
Founded in 2018, the DJK sports support association has since distributed over 100,000 euros to the 51 DJK clubs in the diocese of Eichstätt. The topics of inclusion and integration in sport are particularly important, and should be supported by the support of the clubs. The areas of youth and senior work are also not neglected. These funds come from donations and membership fees and are proof of how important the DJK's work is for the community. How bistum-eichstaett.de reported, the funding commitments were personally handed over to the chairmen of the associations, including well-known names such as Abenberg, Schwabach and Pilsach.
Financial resources for important projects
The funds are used not only to purchase training material, but also for events that appeal to children, young people and seniors. In addition, climate protection measures are also planned, such as installing new heating systems and switching to modern LED floodlight systems. All of these projects are an expression of commitment, which is particularly important in times of climate change and social inequality.
The financial support ultimately enables the clubs to further expand their own community. The DJK clubs play an essential role in the social life of their region and strengthen cohesion holistically. At a time when many clubs are having difficulty attracting new members, the DJK sports association, which has a strong presence in Germany with over 1,100 clubs, relies on sustainable development strategies.
Diversity and health in sport
The DJK is not just a sports association, but also an institution that is committed to Christian values and values inclusion. In this way, the association ensures that people of all cultures and with and without disabilities come together. This is strongly promoted, among other things, by initiatives such as “Making Children Strong”, which are created in collaboration with the Federal Center for Health Education. The philosophy: Strengthening self-confidence and communication skills in children and young people. Special events, such as the Federal Sports Festival, which takes place every four years, attract numerous sports enthusiasts from all over the country and promote community building enormously.

Overall, it can be seen that the financial support from the DJK sports support association is an important building block for the further development of sports clubs in the Eichstätt diocese. The clear message: Strong together – for active and integrative sport in the region!
