As in every year, the employees of Bayer 04 – including players, women players and youth players – were able to look at wish lists from children and senior citizens in need and then pack gifts. Bayer 04 took on 140 wishes this year. In addition to a number of children's groups the gifts this year went to a total of six kindergartens as well as a senior citizens centre.
Mayor Uwe Richrath, deputy chair of the foundation board, said: "Thanks to the support of sponsors and donors we are able to continue the Sterntaler event each year and bring joy to people in need in Leverkusen at Christmas. That is a strong sign of solidarity in Leverkusen."
Almost 12,000 gifts have been given to people since the event was launched in 2008. Anybody wanting to support the Leverkusen community foundation can make a donation here:
