"Therefore we are happy to have the opportunity to give all clubs in the region the chance to present themselves and their volunteering commitment for the thirteenth year and also have the chance of additional recognition of their commitment to the game."

Either via email (wir04helfen@bayer04.de) or via post to Bayer 04 Leverkusen Fußball GmbH, under the heading of volunteer prize: Bismarckstraße 122-124, 51373 Leverkusen.
