Volunteering deserves a round of applause – and tickets
Der Ehrentag wird zum Handball-Highlight
Ludwigshafen, March 2026 – Who hasn’t heard of her? The neighbour who’s been organising aid
for refugees for years. The colleague who mucks out the animal shelter every Saturday.
Or the friend who coaches children at the sports club – voluntarily, as
a matter of course, and tirelessly.
On 23 May 2026, it’s time to say THANK YOU! Because on this day – the anniversary
of our Basic Law – Federal President Steinmeier has declared it ‘EHRENTAG’ (Day of Honour) –
a day that shows: society thrives on people getting involved.
And we’re getting involved! The Ludwigshafen Engagement Agency LUnited is giving away
free tickets to a match in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga featuring the Eulen Ludwigshafen on
EHRENTAG – as a small but heartfelt thank you to everyone who gets involved.
23 May 2026 is a day of celebration
Wer kennt sie nicht? Die Nachbarin, die seit Jahren die
Flüchtlingshilfe organisiert. Den Kollegen, der jeden Samstag im Tierheim ausmistet.
Oder die Freundin, die im Sportverein Kinder trainiert – ehrenamtlich, selbstverständlich
und unermüdlich.
Am 23. Mai 2026 ist es Zeit, DANKE zu sagen! Denn an diesem Tag, dem Geburtstag
unseres Grundgesetzes, hat Bundespräsident Steinmeier den EHRENTAG ausgerufen –
ein Tag, der zeigt: Gesellschaft lebt vom Mitmachen.Und wir machen mit! Die Ludwigshafener Engagement-Agentur LUnited vergibt kostenfreie Tickets für ein Spiel der 2. Handballbundesliga der Eulen Ludwigshafen am EHRENTAG – als kleines, aber herzliches DANKEschön an alle, die sich engagieren.
How does it work?
It’s simple:
- Nominate volunteers in Ludwigshafen (friends, acquaintances,
neighbours – as long as they’re pitching in!) - Send a brief explanation (Why does this person in particular deserve a THANK YOU
and a round of applause?) - Up to four tickets per nomination are available!
Why handball? Because team spirit, fair play and passion are paramount here – just like in volunteering! And because we believe that those who give to others should get something back in return. “Together we are strong – on the court and in life!”
Taking part is doubly rewarding:
- For the volunteers: an exciting match, applause and a break from everyday life.
- For everyone else: the chance to celebrate everyday heroes – and to become part of a
movement that shows: volunteering isn’t a given, but the very foundation of our
society.
