”Olympic-Turtle-Mission” … OR top athletes who commit themselves to save sea turtles!
The German biathletes Magdalena Neuner and Martina Beck, and their Austrian colleague Christoph Sumann had traveled with a family escort to the Olympic Winter Games 2010 to Vancouver and all of the group had a team sweater. The three medalists auctioned off their team jackets for the sea turtle conservation work of Turtle Foundation.
Olympic Games - an unforgettable experience, not only for our athletes! Everybody had the opportunity to save a piece of the real Olympic feeling and support a good cause.
" The total return will be donated to the "turtle foundation", a non-profit foundation, which has significant conservation projects for sea turtles. I support this organisation in collaboration with my partner and www.taucher.net. These sweaters are unique and there will be no more!
We wish you lots of fun bidding! Martina Beck"
The three athletes managed to collect EUR 884 through the auction! But not only this, they even rounded the sum to EUR 1,500 and transferred this amount to the Turtle Foundation bank account!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAGDALENA, MARTINA AND CHRISTOPH FOR THIS GREAT SUPPORT!
...and all the best for the tournaments to come!
