United against violence: Rapid announces a fundraiser for Burgstaller!

In December, a frightening message Vienna Hütteldorf: Guido Burgstaller, an attacker of the football club Rapid Vienna, shook seriously on the head in an incident in nightlife. In a solidarity gesture, the club decided to send the players to the stadium during a European Cup game against Genk in special jackets with the imprint "GB9 - We for you". This measure should not only support the injured player, but also draw attention to the serious effects of violence in society, as laola1.at

After this incident, the club auctioned the jackets and achieved an impressive sum of 7,160 euros, which benefits the Center for Prevention of Violence. Before the GAK game last Sunday, Burgstaller personally presented a check. "As we painfully know from the recent past, violence is one of the most urgent social problems of our time," said Managing Director Steffen Hofmann. With this campaign, Rapid Vienna wants to set an example and underline the importance of supporting institutions.
