5000 euros for a good cause: Schwandorf Summer Festival inspires!
On August 9, 2025, summer was not only celebrated with a happy summer festival in Schwandorf, but a large amount was also raised for a good cause. At this celebration, Schwandorf City Marketing presented a total of 5,000 euros to the Oberpfalz Nord e.V. Children's Cancer Aid and the Hospice Association City and District of Schwandorf e.V. / Bruder-Gerhard-Hospice in Schwandorf. The proud sum comes from a raffle at the community festival in July, which brought in 4,800 euros after deducting all expenses. Bernhard Graf, the association's second chairman, rounded the amount up to 5,000 euros, which secured 2,500 euros each for the two organizations, as [oberpfalzecho.de](https://www.oberpfalzecho.de](https://www.oberpfalzecho.de/teil/stadtmarketing-schwandorf-e-v- Feiert-5-000-euro-fuer-den-guten-weck) reports.
The raffle was a real crowd puller at the community festival, with numerous sponsors contributing to the colorful selection of prizes that were eagerly sought after by visitors. The atmosphere was anything but bad – there were happy faces, good conversations and delicious food. Marco Diermeier, the first chairman of the city marketing association, was proud of the commitment of his team that organized the festival, which was considered a complete success. The new board also received a lot of praise for its efforts, as can be seen from the association's reports. The summer festival was not only an opportunity to collect money, but also a cozy get-together for the community, as stadtmarketing-schwandorf.de emphasizes.
Outlook on upcoming events
But that's not all: the city marketing association is already planning further events. On October 11, 2025, the team will take part in moonlight shopping in Schwandorf in order to become visible to more people. The pub festival, which is scheduled for November 8, 2025, will also be missed. And an after-work event for networking is also being prepared. This shows that the association wants to continue to be active in the community and is planning many great campaigns to not only promote city marketing, but also to support social projects.
The initiative surrounding children's cancer support is particularly worth mentioning. There are already exciting campaigns, such as the classic car raffle, which is organized to support this good cause. Some special vehicles will soon go under the hammer, including a Citroën 11 CV, known as the “gangster limousine,” provided by a local donor. Such community actions show how important it is to work for a good cause, and the cooperation between the city marketing association and other organizations strongly reinforces this, as can also be read on oldtimer-markt.de.
Overall, Schwandorf City Marketing is a lively part of the community, and recent activities prove that people not only celebrate festivals here, but also assume responsibility. It remains to be seen what other surprises the team has in store for citizens, but one thing is certain: the commitment will continue to be highly valued in the future.
