Stiegl Brauwelt: Christmas party for SOS Children’s Villages
Finally celebrating Christmas together again After a long Corona break, children from the SOS Children’s Village Seekirchen celebrated a contemplative Christmas in the Stiegl-Brauwelt.
SEA CHURCHES, SALZBURG. Together with the Stiegl brewery, Josef Voithofer, Salzburg’s well-known caterer and initiator of the SOS Children’s Village campaign, is again organizing the Christmas party for children from the SOS Children’s Village in Seekirchen in the Stiegl beer world after a two-year pandemic break. “I am happy to finally be able to celebrate together with the children and the care team again. The bright eyes of the children when the presents are handed out are always my motivation to organize this very special event,” says Voithofer. The four-star superior Kitzhof Mountain Design Resort in Kitzbühel is once again taking part in the special Christmas celebrations in the Stiegl brewery. It is thanks to the initiators that around 50 children from the SOS Children’s Village in Seekirchen were able to receive their Christmas presents.
highlights for the children
“The big joint Christmas party has been a very special highlight for our children for many years. In the past two years, the disappointment was correspondingly great that it had to be canceled. The anticipation of the long-awaited cozy and contemplative get-together in the Stiegl-Brauwelt was all the greater,” says Wolfgang Arming, SOS Children’s Village site manager Salzburg and adds, “We are immensely grateful to all the organizers of this wonderful Christmas idea. Of course, we are particularly pleased that this tradition, which is so dear to the children, lives on despite the challenging times and that we can close this year with this beautiful experience again. There are currently four Ukrainian mothers with their children and three young people who we can provide safe accommodation in two empty family houses. Not least because of the festive ambience in the Stiegl Brauwelt, we are all in the absolute Christmas spirit.”
wish tree fulfilled wishes
The wishing tree in the Hotel Kitzhof grew again and made children’s dreams come true: as early as October, the girls and boys had the opportunity to write their wishes to “Christkind” on wishing stars. From then on, the stars of the special art adorned the wishing tree in the Hotel Kitzhof, where they were fulfilled by many hotel guests, the hotelier family Müller and their employees. Special thanks also go to the two Salzburg Santa Clauses “Armin and B.arnie”, who have been responsible for the campaign since the beginning and who have supported the distribution of packages. They were out and about in the old town again this year and collected support for the SOS Children’s Village in Seekirchen. A quartet from the Salzburg Military Musicians will provide the musical accompaniment to the celebration. As a special surprise, the female military commander of Salzburg, Colonel Günther Gann, also presented a donation check for 2,411 euros, the proceeds from a benefit concert by the Salzburg military band in the community of Rauris. Brauwelt landlady Daniela Hofer and her team, in cooperation with Josef Voithofer from the congress gastronomy, spoiled the little guests with culinary delights.
