The association has been passionately committed to helping children and young people in need since 2020, which is why “Soldiers with Heart” has also been nominated as a “Krone” heart association. In March, club president John Patrick Platzer and his team called for a new logo to be painted, which would then be produced in the form of a badge. 112 creative works of art – some from abroad – were sent in: “The youngest participant was two years old, the oldest was 64 years old,” smiles Platzer. 15 jurors had to ponder for a long time to decide among all the different drawings. “Nobody goes home as a loser,” explained Platzer at the award ceremony at the Happ Reptile Zoo on Sunday. In addition to the winners of the five categories, the children from the SOS Children’s Village and the “Contraste” residential community in Carinthia and guests of honor such as the deputy military commander Stefan Lekas, influencer Ian Jules and the Ossiacher monastery priest Erich Aichholzer, who gave the blessing to the winners’ badges were also invited .Heart’s wishes fulfilled Manuel, Sophie, Damien, Julia and Marie, who each won in their age category, received certificates as well as special gifts: “All participants also had to state a heartfelt wish, which we were happy to fulfill as a thank you.” says Platzer. These included a toy horse, two dinosaur stations, a Champions League football and goalie gloves, but also the desire for more time with friends. “We organized a bowling party for this!” In addition, all young people and children present received a personal tour of the reptile zoo from the boss Helga Happ and small goodies such as backpacks and sweets. “It’s an incredible feeling to look into all these bright children’s eyes.” Tattoo campaign with Ian JulesAs a highlight, John Patrick Platzer and influencer Ian Jules have announced a very special campaign!
