Contributing Cups: Saving Lives - Submit Checks at BSC-KSC
Hertha BSC, a prominent German football club, has once again shown its commitment to charitable causes. The club's annual "Donate Cups - Save Lives" campaign, named in honour of Benny, set a new record this year with a donation of 100,000 euros to the Children's Aid Association.
The campaign, which has been organised annually since 2005, encourages fans to donate the money from their cup deposits on match days, along with additional donations. This year, the event took place at the final home game of the 2024/25 season against Hannover 96.
The Harlekins Berlin '98, Hertha BSC fans, and Hannover 96 fans all participated in the campaign, making a significant contribution to the cause. The total donation, which amounted to 86,915.54 euros, was rounded up by Hertha BSC to 100,000 euros to honour the fans' commitment.
The Children's Aid Association, which has been supporting families with cancer or seriously ill children for over 40 years, received the donation at the first home game of the 2025/26 season against Karlsruher SC. Jannis Wlachojiannis, managing director of the Children's Aid Association, emphasised that the donation would help support families with a seriously ill child in their difficult time.
Fabian Drescher, the club president of Hertha BSC, expressed his pride in the fans for their yearly contributions to the action. He also thanked the entire blue-and-white family and the fans of Hannover 96 who participated this year.
The "Donate Cups - Save Lives" campaign is one of the many ways Hertha BSC demonstrates its dedication to giving back to the community. Despite limited information available on the specific history and impact of the campaign, it is clear that the club's efforts have made a significant difference in the lives of many children and their families.
The "Donate Cups - Save Lives" campaign, an annual event organized by Hertha BSC since 2005, garnered a record donation of 100,000 euros this year. Participants included Hertha BSC fans, Harlekins Berlin '98, and Hannover 96 fans, collectively contributing a substantial amount towards the Children's Aid Association, an organization providing support for families with cancer or seriously ill children for over 40 years.
