Whether bicycle training for women who have fled, help for foster families for disabled children or the construction of schools in Afghanistan – the Funke media group has awarded five women the “Goldene Bild der Frau” prize for their voluntary commitment.
The prizes were presented on Wednesday evening in Hamburg as part of a gala moderated by Kai Pflaume. The awards are endowed with 10,000 euros per project.
The women come from Dorsten (North Rhine-Westphalia), Freiburg (Baden-Württemberg), Oststeinbek (Schleswig-Holstein), Ovelgönne (Lower Saxony) and Munich (Bavaria). In addition, readers of the magazine “Bild der Frau” could decide who would receive an additional 30,000 euros.
Prominent guests in Hamburg’s Stage Theater
The approximately 450 guests at Hamburg’s Neue Flora stage theater on Wednesday evening included Jeanette Biedermann, Wolke Hegenbarth, Tom Neuwirth, Kristina Vogel and Judith Williams. The gala was opened musically by newcomer Alina.
In addition, actress Rea Garvey, presenter and entrepreneur Victoria Swarovski, newsreader Susanne Daubner, presenter Guido Cantz and TV chef Nelson Müller were the sponsors of the “everyday heroines” as prominent supporters. The award has been presented by the Funke Media Group for 15 years. According to the information, there are already 80 award winners.
