First asterisk run in Neustadt: Students race for good purposes!

On Wednesday, May 21st, the first “asterisk run” will take place in the stadium on the Gogenkrog in Neustadt. This special event is organized by schoolchildren from the Neustädter Bay primary school to collect donations for the "Sterntaler" association. The collected funds should support important school projects, including the annual school trip, readings, new play equipment and an English theater.

The students will actively search for sponsors who are willing to donate per minute or with a fixed amount. The call to support is aimed at local companies that want to contribute to the financial support of this initiative. From a donation of 300 euros, the sponsors can also receive a donation certificate. For those interested, the organization team of the asterisk run can be reached at the e-mail address steffen.meyer@gsneustadt.org to obtain further information.
