Fasting, fasting and donating…

The euros rolled in again for "Kilo for Kids". In the Schleppe brewery in Klagenfurt, the final weighing took place, because every kilo brings ten euros for children in need.

It all started on Ash Wednesday, then it was fasting and fasting and fasting - for 40 long days, as it should be. And as befits the "Kilo for Kids" campaign run by the PKE brotherhood Hansi Schaunig and Christian Engel, the weight was weighed at the beginning and now again at the end and a tenner was donated for every kilo lost.

The money goes to children in need. Last but not least, the fasting benefits the donors themselves. And some of them left quite a bit of weight behind - "Schaunze" himself set a good example by weighing a whopping 13.1 kilograms!

Among them: good friends and business partners, above all LH Peter Kaiser and Kelag boss Reinhard Draxler, municipal judge Willi Noll and many others.
