Tyrolean shooters collect almost 8,000 euros for social projects!

This year, the Tyrolean riflemen and sutlers collected an impressive sum of 7,986.00 euros for social projects by selling 726 bottles of high-quality olive oil from Palestine. This campaign, which was organized by the Knights of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, is almost traditional during Advent and promotes social projects in Israel and Palestine. How MyDistrict.at reported that the proceeds go mainly to charitable projects for Christians in the Holy Land, which are all the more important, especially after the recent conflicts in the region.

Part of the income is also paid into the emergency account “Shooters help shooters”, which was set up to provide affected shooters and sutlers with quick and unbureaucratic support in emergency situations. This account makes it possible to act quickly and provide assistance in situations such as flood events or other disaster damage, such as Tyrolean riflemen notes.

Tradition meets necessity

Supporting social projects and providing an emergency account are two sides of the same coin that underline the commitment of the Tyrolean shooters. State Commander Major Thomas Saurer thanked everyone involved for the successful charity campaign, which not only brought in a lot of money for a good cause, but also strengthened the order's values ​​and leitmotifs. The focus is on cooperation and community cohesion and not only helps the social projects in the region, but also the local shooters themselves in crisis situations.
