Van Raam donated a cheque to the Kanjers voor Kanjers Foundation. The record amount of money consisted of gifts that during the opening of the new Van Raam bicycle factory have been donated to the Foundation Kanjers voor Kanjers.
On Thursday 21 November 2019, the handover of the cheque to the Kanjers voor Kanjers Foundation took place at Van Raam in Varsseveld. Van Raam directors Jan-Willem Boezel and Ronald Ruesink handed over the cheque to John Theissen (board member) and Maarten Idink (volunteer) on behalf of the Van Raam management. John and Maarten received the cheque on behalf of the foundation.
With a record amount of €11,914.30, the value of the cheque was the highest ever donated to the foundation.
The amount has been achieved through donations made during the festive opening and the spectacular opening party in October 2019. At the beginning of the same year, Van Raam moved into the new sustainable bicycle factory in Varsseveld. The management of Van Raam indicated as a gift tip to make a donation to the Kanjers voor Kanjers Foundation instead of a gift for themselves.
The guests, including the mayor and councillors of Varsseveld, Mr. Kluver (the oldest employee in the Netherlands), customers, suppliers and employees, responded to this and supported the foundation by donating an amount for this charity instead of giving a gift to the board members.
Unprecedented, we never expected this!

The Kanjers voor Kanjers Foundation is dedicated to sporting events and trips for children in the Achterhoek region for whom sports and games are not a matter of course. For example, a child with a long-term illness, a disability or for children who cannot live at home or who cannot be a child. Making children close to home happy, that is what Kanjers voor Kanjers has in mind.
This can be done with the help of volunteers. The donations are used for sports and game material. (Source: Kanjers voor Kanjers)
