Donation run at the Léon-Foucault-Gymnasium: Students collect 1,735 euros!

On June 24, 2025, an impressive donation run was held at the Léon-Foucault-Gymnasium in Hoyerswerda, in which the students in grades 5 to 7 enthusiastically took part. The event, which was supported by the school community and numerous spectators, earned a proud 1,735 euros. The donations flow to various local facilities, including the Bautzen Frauenschutzhaus, a children's home in Hoyerswerda and the Lausitzer workshops. This shows how committed the school community is in social responsibility, as reported by the Wochenkurier.

under the motto "Every round has been done!" the different grades competed in succession. The fifth graders were on the track from 08:15 to 9:15 a.m., followed by the sixth and seventh graders who went into the race every hour. In order to keep up the motivation, there were free drinks for all participants during the donation run, which also loosened up the atmosphere. After the run there was a ceremonial award ceremony in which the best runners were awarded.

active support from sponsors

The event was supported by a large number of sponsors, including local companies such as Eis-Uli, Globus, the Autohaus Elitzsch and the support association of the Léon-Foucault Gymnasium. This support is crucial in order to successfully carry out such events and strengthen the school community. Lea-Sophie Neumann, member of the student council, spoke in the name of all about the gratitude towards the runners, the sponsors and the organization team, which is behind this successful event.

A remarkable achievement came from a mother who run 20 rounds and thus set an impressive sign of the commitment of the whole family. Such actions illustrate that cohesion in school and in the community is very important.

planned sequels and commitment to social purposes

The organization team is already planning to continue the donation run in the coming school year. Another run should take place in the first week of the new school year, so that other grades have the opportunity to actively work for social purposes. Through such activities, the young people not only learn to take responsibility for others, but also promote their own teamwork and their social skills.

Participation in a donation run is often based on a very uncomplicated idea: The students: Inside, the inside of their own sponsor: Inside in their environment, which are ready to donate for every round run. Here, the donation processing is usually organized automatically via platforms such as Fundoo, so that each sponsor receives an email with a link to the donation. This is not only practical, but also ensures that the entire campaign is carried out smoothly, such as [Plan International] (https://www.plan-international.at/engagement-von-und-fuer-chulen/actions-fuer-chulen/spendenlauf-organize.

Overall, the donation run at the Léon-Foucault-Gymnasium shows how important communal engagement is for the region and how students can actively make a contribution to helping people in need. By creating such events, not only school is strengthened, but also social interaction.
