Club bars, sports bars, football pubs and restaurants – nearly everybody has their favourite venue. These food and drink businesses are often like a second home – and they are particularly hard-hit by the current situation surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Coca-Cola and other partners want to show the hospitality venues they are not alone during this crisis.
The Bayer 04 sponsorship partners have worked with the German Hotel & Catering Association (DEHOGA) to launch the fundraising campaign LOKALFREUN.DE. Bayer 04 and other professional clubs are supporting the project where fast and uncomplicated contributions can be made from one Euro. Support your favourite venue in and around Leverkusen.
