August 12, 2024 – The VfB Stuttgart Foundation has made a donation of 10,000 euros to Diversero’s “Sports Free” campaign. This support is an important signal from Baden-Württemberg and a clear commitment to the values of diversity and inclusion in professional sport.
The quote from the “chest ring of hearts” aptly summarizes the foundation’s attitude: “People move people. That has always been the case. In Baden-Württemberg, there are numerous and outstanding examples of people who have made a big difference through their social commitment. At VfB, the focus is on people. Because people are our greatest value. Regardless of age, origin or religion.”
“The support of the VfB Foundation shows that these values are deeply rooted in the club and its community,” explained Marcus Urban, co-founder of Diversero. “A donation of this magnitude enables us to further expand our work and support queer athletes on their way to greater visibility and acceptance in sport.”
The donation from the VfB Stuttgart Foundation marks an important milestone for the “Sports Free” campaign and shows how important social commitment is in soccer. With its support, the foundation is sending a powerful signal that people – regardless of their identity – should take center stage.
This partnership shows once again that VfB Stuttgart not only takes responsibility in sport, but also in society. This great support will further strengthen the message of “Sports Free” and reach even more people. Many thanks to the VfB Foundation for this valuable contribution!
