Charity is a matter of the heart for ENERGETIX. In addition to its other charity commitments, ENERGETIX also recently took part in the 20th anniversary of RTL’s telethon – a mega event that supports children in need. The target: to generate as much money for the good cause in 24 hours as possible. A wide range of different activities were arranged to achieve this goal.
The treadmill challenge
Joining in with spectacular activities for eight years: extreme sports endurance personality, ENERGETIX friend and enthusiastic wearer of sportEX – Joey Kelly. His ambitious target for 2015: to endure 24 hours on a treadmill. A further 20 treadmills were also set up on which relay teams representing such companies as ENERGETIX also ran for an entire 24 hours.
Team spirit par excellence
ENERGETIX also fielded a team for one of the 20 treadmills. It included highly motivated business partners and friends who had travelled to the event from all over Germany; our thanks go to:

Joey Kelly and the 24-hour challenge
Yes, Joey kept going and did the entire 24 hours on his own. But he wasn’t really alone, of course, because the 20 teams of runners (including teams representing Bauhaus, Postbank, Sparda Bank, Deutsche Post and Luke Kelly) were also present in the large hall with each relay team running on separate treadmills. They also gave their all. The companies donated 10 euros to be added to the grand total for every kilometre run.

Roland Förster, Sole Shareholder and CEO, joined the host, Wolfram Kons, at the RTL Studios in Cologne on Friday evening. This was also when the total amount that ENERGETIX would be donating was revealed: 70,000 euros!
