Uwe Hück, known as the eloquent Chairman of the Group Works Council and Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG, is a man of action - even when it comes to helping children and young people. He set up a foundation to give socially disadvantaged kids the chance of an education.
To donations the two-time European Thai boxing champion is now getting back into the ring. On November 16, 2013, under the motto „Blaue Flecke für soziale Zwecke“ (blue spots for social causes), he will be fighting in the Ludwigsburg MHP Arena in a Charity boxing match on. 50 percent of the evening's proceeds and donations will go to his „Hück Learning Foundation“ benefit from this. The other 50 percent goes to SOS Children's Villages, because this is a matter close to the heart of Hück's opponent.
This is none other than Luan Krasniqi. The European heavyweight champion, Olympic bronze medal winner and TV boxing expert was spontaneously enthusiastic about the idea of a fight for a good cause.
Like Hück, he fought his way up from humble beginnings with an iron will and a firm belief in his own abilities.And like Hück, he has never forgotten his origins: For both of them, seeing weaker people suffer is hard on the stomach.
In addition to the city of Ludwigsburg, numerous sponsors are participating in the campaign, which has just been joined by Harley-Davidson The German branch of the Motor Company is donating a Night Rod Special, in favor of „Bruises for social causes“ will be raffled off.
The bike has a new value of 17,600 euros and develops 122 hp and 111 Newton meters from 1247 cubic centimeters. „A lot of pressure for a good idea,“ says Marketing Director Frank Klumpp, who handed the bike over to Hück and Krasniqi, „and also was Porsche was instrumental in the development of the Revolution engine - so what other machine would be more suitable?, „Bruises for social causes“ support?“
A number of artists, actors and celebrities from the worlds of business, politics and the media will be present when the starting bell sounds in the MHP Arena on November 16, and a top German band will perform as a surprise guest. Of course, all those involved will waive their fees. 3,900 visitors can therefore expect some exclusive music, shows and entertainment at moderate ticket prices. Tickets, further information and details of the Harley prize draw can be found at www.Charityboxen.de.
