Remote Run für Kamerun PATRIZIA Foundation

The PATRIZIA Foundation’s third Remote Run raised 2737 euros for the construction of a playground for the PATRIZIA School Yaoundé. The charity run organised by Christina Lutz and volunteers attracted 148 participants in its third year. The 49 employees of PATRIZIA SE were among the teams with the most participants, followed by Golisch Immobilien with 22 participants.

Running for a good cause

Von Ende Dezember bis Ende Januar hatten die Läufer und Läuferinnen die Gelegenheit, am 5km langen Charity-Remote-Lauf der PATRIZIA Foundation teilzunehmen. Die Wahl der Strecke blieb jedem selbst überlassen. Nach der Meisterung der winterlichen Sporteinlage trugen die Teilnehmenden ihre Zeit vertrauensbasiert auf dem Portal von Race Result ein. Insgesamt nahmen 84 Männer und 64 Frauen am diesjährigen Lauf teil. Dabei war jede Altersklasse vertreten: Denn die jüngste Teilnehmerin war gerade einmal ein Jahr und der älteste Teilnehmer 61 Jahre alt. Mit ihrer Teilnahme unterstützen alle Angemeldeten das Projekt, den 400m²-großen Betonschulhof der PATRIZIA School Yaoundé in einen Spielplatz für Kinder umzuwandeln. Alle Erlöse fließen zu 100% in das Projekt.

A good start

Together with the PATRIZIA Foundation, eight employees of PATRIZIA SE and the non-profit association KuKuK Kultur e. V. would like to build a playground for the PATRIZIA School Yaoundé in Cameroon in April 2023. After the fundraising challenge, the volunteers will visit the school for a week and lend a hand. What makes it special is that it is the first trip for volunteers to go abroad. A total of 60,000€ is needed for the construction. For this, the eight volunteers have made it their task to collect the required money themselves.

A Musical Programme with Lasting Impact

Young musicians from the MiSST programme welcomed guest with an opening performance.

Throughout the evening, the students further captivated guests with their performances, including Adoration by Florence Price and selected pieces from The Phantom of the Opera.  

An Evening of Shared Vision and Personal Stories

In his welcoming speech, founder Wolfgang Egger talked about the importance of investing in young people and creating opportunities that allow them to thrive — academically, personally and socially. Ambassador Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber delivered a passionate speech on the importance of protecting arts education in the UK, particularly at a time when music and creative subjects continue to face significant cuts within the school system. He spoke movingly about the responsibility to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to creativity, culture and music education.

Chairwoman of the Board Astrid Gabler, together with Board Member James Muir, reflected on their recent visit to one of the programme’s partner schools. James shared how deeply a passionate music teacher had influenced him during his own school years and how this experience continues to shape his belief in the importance of the support in education infrastructure. 

Rachel Landon, CEO MiSST, brought the programme vividly to life through inspiring footage and powerful stories from participating students, offering guests a meaningful glimpse into the daily impact of the initiative.

 

One of the evening’s most memorable moments came from Rain Spiegel-Johnson, a former participant of the programme, who shared her personal story and reflected on the impact music education has had on her life. Growing up in a low-income household, opportunities to take part in extracurricular arts education were often out of reach, leaving her feeling excluded from experiences many others could access. Through MiSST, however, she discovered a creativity and confidence that had long remained hidden.

Speaking about her experience, she described music not only as a form of artistic expression, but also as a powerful sense of belonging:

“Through music, I discovered not only artistry, but the profound feeling of being part of an ensemble so unified, disciplined and unwaveringly beautiful.”

She also emphasized the broader importance of the programme, calling MiSST “an outstanding microcosm for the future of music and the arts in this country.”

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and our Ambassador, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, for the “Thrive Cubed with Music” evening in support of music education in the UK — and for your shared commitment to creating new opportunities for young people through the power of music!
