1001 Christmas trees for good hearts: charity event in Dudweiler”

On Saturday, December 13, 2025, a unique charity event under the motto “1001 Tännchen” will take place in the Dudweiler town hall. The event, which lasts from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., supports the “Heroes for Hearts” association. This association specializes in supporting children in difficult life situations and bringing them joy.

The patron of the event is Dr. Theophil Gallo, former district administrator and former chairman of the Siebenpfeiffer Foundation. The program includes a range of activities, including a presentation of the “1001 Tännchen” project and performances by “Wonder Woman” Dagmar Schwan. Further highlights include fairy tale hours with Heike Altpeter and Bärbel Ganster and musical contributions from the group “Flowers of Ukraine” and soprano Sandrine Velten.

Support for “Heroes for Hearts”

The “Heroes for Hearts” association is voluntary and non-profit and aims to give seriously ill children and young people distraction and courage through visits from superheroes and princesses. The members are selflessly committed, investing time in costumes and acting to bring joy into the lives of children. Dealing with serious illnesses is a challenge that often affects the entire family. Therefore, support through such projects is of great importance.

The charity event in the town hall not only offers an entertaining program, but there is also the opportunity to take part in a painting activity and admire winter works of art. Admission is free, but donations are requested to support the valuable work of “Heroes for Hearts”.

Importance of donations for children in need

A look at the current donation situation shows that in 2023, 75% of private donations in Germany went to humanitarian aid, especially to child and youth welfare. In total, large children's aid organizations collected over 1 billion euros. These donations not only support children, but also their families and communities. Organizations such as Kindernothilfe or Plan International offer sponsorships, which provide important support for many children.

Transparency and ethical standards are crucial here. Donations to charitable organizations can be deducted up to 20% of income as special expenses. However, it is also pointed out that the organization's administrative and advertising cost ratio should not exceed 30% so that at least 70 cents per euro goes to the purpose of the donation.

The upcoming event in the Dudweiler town hall offers an excellent opportunity to stand up for an important cause and at the same time spend a lovely afternoon in a special atmosphere.
