On the newly formed charity platform Sport4ukraine, founded by Siegbert Müller, managing director of Outtra, donations to help people in need in the wake of the war in Ukraine are collected. The project is supported by the organizations BSI, VDS, SAZsport, Sport 2000, and companies Alpenstrand, Chillaz, Ortlieb, Bergfreunde, Devold, Dynafit, Vaude and many others. The partnering brands, retailers, associations, publishers and other participants from the sports industry will double the donations made through the website: With a donation of €100, Sport4ukraine donates another €100 to the organizations. The funds go to organizations such as Aktion Deutschland hilft, the German Red Cross, the UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency) or Caritas Austria. In a statement by the BSI, the association says: “Many members of BSI e.V. and the sporting goods industry as a whole also have relatives or partners in Ukraine who have been massively affected by these armed conflicts. In addition to the desire for a quick end to the fighting, our main priority is to support the people in Ukraine.”
