Paderborn University supports the "WDR 2 Christmas Miracle" with donations

Charity run, Christmas bazaar and more - the "Christmas Miracle Week" at Paderborn University has paid off. A total of 8,475 euros was raised from the various activities, which will be used to support the "WDR 2 Christmas Miracle". Yesterday, Prof Dr René Fahr, Vice President for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, presented the donation on Paderborn Cathedral Square. Students and staff from the Department of Sport and Health got the audience in front of the Glashaus studio moving with a dance flashmob to "Merry Christmas Everyone".

"A big thank you to everyone who donated or enriched the fundraising campaign with their event," says Fahr happily. The "WDR 2 Christmas Miracle" is organised by WDR and Aktion Deutschland Hilft and this year's motto is "Together against hunger in the world".

About the "Christmas Miracle Week"

As part of the fundraising campaign, Paderborn University launched the "Christmas Miracle Week" from 9 to 13 December. The colourful programme ranged from lunchtime bingo and the sale of waffles to concerts, a treadmill marathon and many other activities. Numerous events were also held at Paderborn University outside of the central "Christmas Miracle Week", which took part in the "WDR 2 Christmas Miracle". The donations collected there will be added to the sum donated.
