Stelvio for Life
This year, all Hartwig employees are participating in the Stelvio for Life event: https://www.stelvioforlife.nl/team/bb11b657-0411-4456-85e7-8c9aff3d87b3
This is how we’re raising money for a good cause: personalized cancer treatment. “The Stelvio for Life Foundation aims to annually raise funds for research into personalized cancer treatment, tailored to the individual patient and their specific tumor characteristics, based on DNA analysis of the tumor tissue.”
You can donate to Hartwig as a team or to individual participants via the link above. We’re still far from reaching our goal, so all donations are needed!
A colourful event
One of our fundraising activities lets you choose the hair color of one of our employees. You do this by mentioning a name and color with your donation (in the “Message for the participant” field), for example: Joep – Green.
You can find all participating employees here. Each person-color combination that raises the more than 500 euros will be their hair color on the day of the climb, which will certainly make for some fantastic finish line photos!
The current standing of color-person combinations is as follows (updated weekly):
- Joris – Avatar: 50 euros, 450 to goal
- Joep – Pink: 500 euros, hair goal achieved, 1000 to go for beard as well
