Carro presents 2025 Sports Youth Volunteer award at Schloss Morsbroich

For the first time this year, the city of Leverkusen has awarded the Sports Youth Volunteer prize, which is aimed at particularly committed young volunteers in sport. The award ceremony took place on Tuesday evening as part of the city’s sports awards ceremony at Schloss Morsbroich. Bayer 04 donated the prize money of €500, with CEO Fernando Carro presenting the symbolic cheque to this year's winner Gianna Ingber and also inviting her to a Werkself home game at the BayArena.

Ingber was nominated by her riding club, RSV Rheinland e.V., where she is extensively involved on a voluntary basis. Among other things, she acts as youth manager and treasurer and is active in many other organisational functions. But Ingber is also involved in other areas, for example as a youth spokesperson in the Bergisches Land district association or - in the past - in the Weißer Ring e.V. (White Ring Association).

The jury for the Sports Youth Volunteer award consisted of the following people:

  • Marc Adomat (City director/minister of department IV)
  • Thorsten Morig (Managing director, SportBund Leverkusen e.V.)
  • Nelly Schreiner (Operations manager, Sportpark Leverkusen)
  • Michael Löhe (Youth manager, DJK Sportfreunde Leverkusen)
  • Alina Reit (Volunteer coordinator, Department IV)
  • Matthias Adler (Head of fans and sustainability, Bayer 04)

This campaign is one of many that Bayer 04 is organising or supporting in the area of volunteering in Leverkusen and the surrounding region. The promotion of voluntary work is an important part of Bayer 04's social commitment.
