Social Bet 2.0 successfully completed!

As of today, it is clear that almost all forty betting partners were able to win the "social bet 2.0"! At the end of October, Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung called on social and non-profit organisations in Upper Franconia to participate in the "social bet 2.0". Forty organisations from all Upper Franconian districts followed the call to bet that your organisation would not manage to collect at least 300 euros in donations within five weeks. With 38 out of 40 participating betting partners, almost all organisations succeeded in reaching the betting target and collecting at least 300 euros in donations during the betting period from 8 November to 10 December 2021.

Great commitment that pays off!

As usual with a bet, the stakes were of course attractive! Thus, all organisations that reached the betting target can look forward to doubling the amount raised up to an amount of 1,000 euros each. With 5,458.16 euros, the Rote Katze e.V. from Bayreuth was able to generate the highest income and is thus considered this year's competition king. The Elisabeth-Verein Pottenstein e.V. also has two reasons to be happy: With its idea, which was rated as the most innovative fundraising campaign by Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung , it wins the innovation prize of 1,000 euros in addition to the actual bet. In total, Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung released 36,102.83 euros in donations as part of the "social bet 2.0".
