Vienna helps! Large fundraising campaign with Wanda for people in need!

Under the motto "Donation Amore - and a little money" invite the cult band Wanda and the Samaritan Association of Vienna for a special concert on December 21, 2024 in the Vienna Stadthalle. This event is not only musically a pleasure, but also an important contribution to people in need. The donations collected during the concert will benefit the "Samaritan Kisterl" project, which provides needy families and individuals essential foods and hygiene articles. This reported ots.at .

As part of the festive season and the solidarity that they symbolize, Wanda and their fans want to set a strong sign together with the Samaritan Association. Before and after the concert, visitors have the opportunity to donate directly to the Wiener Stadthalle. Oliver Löhlein, Managing Director of the Samaritan Association of Vienna, emphasizes the urgent need to support people in poverty and refers to the importance of joint action. Large differences can already be made with low donations: With 30 euros, a “Kisterl” can be filled for a needy person.
