AGAIN 50.000 EURO FOR CHARITY
On July 21, the 8th edition of the 'Everts and Friends Charity Race', a unique motocross event for charity, was held on the Horensbergdam in Genk.
It was a wonderful edition with a sporting spectacle and a crowd of spectators on the stands and along the circuit. In the meantime, the children and young people of the charities selected by Stefan Everts enjoyed the attention of 'The Legend' and a relaxing day of motorcross.
Despite the withdrawal of the two main sponsors, Lotto and the Province of Limburg, for budget reasons and the (too) warm weather, an amount of no less than 50.000 euros can once again be donated to the various charities:
Ter Heide, a guidance center for residents with severe or multiple intellectual disabilities, receives 18.000 euros.
A Heart for Limburg (King Baudouin Foundation) receives two cheques, mainly for Kopp Op! (3.500 euros) and G-Team Real FC Berg-Neeroeteren (3.000 euros).
De Medi Clowns – themselves present at the Horensbergdam – will receive 2.500 euros to support their hospital and home visits to sick children.
Bed net, that connects long-term and chronically ill children to their own school and classroom via the internet, receives a check for 2.000 euros.
't Weyerke, a service center for people with disabilities and nursing home for road traffic victims, will receive 10.000 euros.
BKO-BLO Oosterlo, a free nursery and primary school for special education, can count on 9.000 euros.
The Molse youth institution The market Finally, you receive a contribution of 2.000 euros.
Stefan Everts himself is delighted with the result: “After Lotto and the Province of Limburg – our two most important sponsors – dropped out, I was very disappointed. The weather – too hot – was also not good this year and cost us spectators. Fortunately, we had looked carefully at the costs in advance and where savings could be made. The Charity Race itself was once again a direct hit, thanks to the World Motocross World Championship top, Kimi Räikkönen, the cyclocrossers, AMC Genk, our 200 employees and the public. We are very pleased that we can once again donate 50.000 euros.”
Everts & Friends and AMC Genk would like to once again thank all employees, drivers, sponsors, media, spectators and sympathizers for their willing cooperation in the Charity Race. Next year there will be another Everts & Friends Charity Race.
