Title: Germany's Basketball Victory Sparks Charity Wave, Raising Massive Funds
With a sense of sheer jubilation, Germany's triumphant basketball team captured global attention at the World Championships in Manila. Their successful run culminated in an epic victory over Serbia (83-77) in the final, sealing the championship with a thrilling 113-111 defeat of the USA in the semi-finals. NBA star Dennis Schröder (30) led the charge, surprising many before the tournament with this remarkable achievement.
Building on this […] triumph, a significant step forward was taken in the name of charity. A ball signed by all World Championship-winning players has been auctioned off as part of a campaign orchestrated by a non-profit association called "Basketball AID." The resulting megasum of 12,050 euros went straight to supporting children suffering from cancer.
Former national team player, Per Günther (35), serves on the association's board. In his role as a television expert at the World Cup, Günther orchestrated the signatures for the auction. "We are thrilled that such a fantastic sum could be raised through the auction," he shares, highlighting the appeal of the German national team's World Cup triumph.
The auction fundraiser is not the last chapter in this inspiring story. Legends of the German basketball scene have goals beyond this initial success. "Our newly elected board intends to achieve great things for a good cause," Günther explains. Other campaigns have already been launched, such as the initiative between "Basketball AID" and Fraport AG, which donates 100 euros to a children's cancer facility in Frankfurt for every three-pointer scored during home games by the Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt.
Fans took to the 'no-sport-app' to show their support for the team's historic win, following BBL (German Basketball League) matches meticulously. Dennis Schröder, the DBB (German Basketball Association) player, proved that BBL talent could blaze its trail on the international stage with this achievement. "BASKETBALL AID" led by Dennis Schröder is gearing up for a repeat of their successful auction, aiming to surpass the exceptional sum raised from the previous auction.
