Smiles all around at Fürth Children's Hospital: The non-profit organization Bunter Kreis e.V. received meaningful support from the Horst Brandstätter Group. In addition to a generous monetary donation, the company also provided high-quality PLAYMOBIL toys to furnish the hospital’s playroom – a valuable contribution for young patients and their families.
The donation stems from the prize money awarded to the Horst Brandstätter Group as part of the Fürth District’s Sustainability Award, recognizing the company’s commitment to environmental education and sustainable product development. The prize money was matched with an additional in-kind donation – in the spirit of company founder Horst Brandstätter, whose dedication to children's well-being remains a lasting legacy.
Together with PLAYMOBIL FunPark mascot Pirate Rico, the donation check and a wide selection of PLAYMOBIL toys were handed over to the Bunter Kreis team at Fürth Children's Hospital. Families supported by the organization were also present and delighted by the donation. Naturally, the PLAYMOBIL pirate took the opportunity to personally visit young patients in the hospital wards, bringing smiles and joy to their faces.
"We’re proud to support a project that offers families strength and hope during difficult times. For us, sustainability means not only ecological responsibility but also social commitment. That’s why it was a matter of course to pass on the prize money and add a toy donation,” said Tim-Niklas Kubach, Corporate Spokesperson of the Horst Brandstätter Group.
Each year, around 40,000 families in Germany face sudden and challenging life situations – whether due to serious illness, premature birth, or the loss of a child. Bunter Kreis e.V. provides these families with tailored aftercare, counseling, and psychosocial support – services that go beyond standard care and rely on donations.
