Employees at the Koehler Group recently raised 1,000 euros in donations by buying our highly popular art calendar for 2024. Koehler Group CEO Kai Furler had the opportunity to hand over the donation to the Leben mit Behinderung Ortenau e.V. association. “It really is great that the association is helping tackle the needs and interests of people with physical disabilities and their families. Needless to say, having the opportunity to help make their wishes reality is an honor,” Kai Furler said.
Art calendar proceeds become donations
For many years now, the annual art calendar released by Koehler Paper has been tremendously popular, and this year’s edition was the result of a collaboration with artist Kilias Knispel. His works revolve around human beings, with portraits that are predominantly of young people and that radiate a sense of peace and deep, inner contemplation. “Open and honest communication between us as people is important to me,” says Kilias Knispel. To symbolize this, he portrays women and men with dangerous-looking horns and wraps human tongues around cow horns. The parallel is clear: Both are highly sensitive organs used for communicating, and both must be put to good use. By making a donation, employees at Koehler were able to get their hands on this year’s calendar and the striking artwork of Kilias Knispel. The Koehler Group executive board then took the proceeds and rounded them up to 1,000 euros.
Proceeds go to Leben mit Behinderung Ortenau e.V. association
The Leben mit Behinderung Ortenau association was founded in 1970 by parents of disabled children as a self-help organization. Since then, the association has continuously expanded the services it offers in order to better assist families with children suffering from physical or multiple disabilities. In fact, this process saw home care and support offerings being gradually added until the range of services was finally rounded out with residential and semi-residential care offerings.
