The campaign encouraged visitors to do a good deed while relaxing: “Come on by, relax with us, and automatically do a good deed with your visit.” “In times like these, it’s especially important to us to remind people of what really matters: health.” The rising costs in recent months are taking a toll on each and every one of us, but it’s essential not to forget that health is our greatest and most important asset. Unfortunately, not everyone is fortunate enough to be healthy and fit. That’s why it’s a great pleasure for us to donate to St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research in Vienna to support research and the fight against cancer in children,” said Managing Director Bernhard Strohmeier.
