Above all, sport should be seen as a chance to grow as a person, to discover the joy of moving and to share experiences together, not as something that’s all about performance.
My goal is to bring these two areas together, so that animals can provide real therapeutic value for people in need.
What the foundation stands for
Some people need more support than others – not because they’re less strong, but because that’s how life has turned out. Kids growing up with illness or poverty. Older people who need someone by their side. Families who shouldn’t have to face their hardest moments alone.
We believe dignity, care and genuine attention should never come down to luck. That’s why we support people and initiatives that look exactly where others look away – and make a difference every single day.
Sport brings people together – everyone. Not just the talented or the ambitious, but every kid who wants to join in, belong and try things out.
Sport builds community, boosts confidence and opens doors – regardless of background, ability or disability. We support people and initiatives who see sport this way: as a space for connection, personal growth and real togetherness. Because every young person deserves to know that feeling: I belong.
The bond between humans and animals is something truly unique and it can achieve things we would barely think possible. Especially for the seriously ill, we witness time and again the remarkable impact that animal-assisted therapy can have.
For people with disabilities, animals often become a bridge back to society, enabling a level of participation that was previously unimaginable.
That is exactly why this connection means so much to us. We are committed to promoting animal-assisted therapy so that even more people can benefit from this healing power.
On top of that, there’s an advisory board whose members each bring their own expertise to specific areas of our work. Together, we combine passion, vision and know-how to bring our projects to life and see them through.
Let me introduce:
“If you have the opportunity to make a difference, you should take it. Football has given me so much, and through the foundation I now have the chance to give something back to those who need it most. I am incredibly thankful for that.”
“Every moment and every encounter in our foundation work reminds me of what truly matters in life. This work doesn’t just change the lives of others, it also changes my perspective on what is important.”
“The best thing about our foundation work is the people and families we meet and their moving stories. Knowing that our work truly makes a difference in their lives, that means everything to me.”
“Foundation work keeps reminding me that many things in life cannot be taken for granted – and how important solidarity and support are. Through quick and unbureaucratic assistance, special moments can be created!”
“Through this foundation, Kai is living the values our family has always shared. I’m proud of him and proud to be part of this work because it truly makes a difference.”
“It impresses me that Kai founded this foundation. I’m proud to be part of this initiative by supporting people and projects, and actively helping to shape the foundation’s work.”
“I am a member of the foundation’s advisory board because its work creates meaning, touches hearts, and makes a real difference. Being able to be part of it is both a motivation and a responsibility for me.”
“I believe that people who’ve had a bit more luck in life should take responsibility for those who are disadvantaged. So it’s all the more wonderful for me to see that Kai and his family are already living this idea so naturally and that I get to support them on this journey.”
“For me, working for the foundation brings together two perspectives that truly move me: the genuine connection with people and animals, from which something greater and more lasting can grow together – and the opportunity to give something back to the world through empathy, care and inclusion.”
Together with you, we want to build a platform for change – a place where people come together and make a real difference, through compassion and movement.
That’s why you can donate. And if money is tight but the will is there, we’re open to meaningful partnerships through donations in kind and hands-on help.
