Simone Rosenberger honored with thank you award

Simone Rosenberger honored with thank you award

PERG/UPPER AUSTRIA Tips, Sportland Oberösterreich, OÖNachrichten, Life Radio and TV1 were again looking for the many volunteers in Upper Austria’s sports clubs today. The winners were awarded at the closing ceremony in the Olympiaforum in Linz. Simone Rosenberger, head of the football section at Askö Perg, took the win in the Perg district.

Around 200,000 people are involved in voluntary work in Upper Austria. For the fifth time, these people have been brought to the fore as part of the “Thank you” vote and honored for their work and commitment. “In the Tips, we want to motivate, focus on the positive and on working together, because working together well can overcome divides.” “The meetings in the clubs are valuable, and it is important to experience and share emotions,” emphasizes Tips editor-in-chief Alexandra Mittermayr.

88 nominees, more than 180,000 votes

A total of 183,846 votes were cast for the 88 nominees on Tips.at and nachrichten.at. Gino Cuturi, Managing Partner at Medienhaus Wimmer, praised: “Without the volunteers, many things in Upper Austria would not exist. Volunteering in sport and culture brings society together and we present that in the media.” State Sports Councillor Markus Achleitner is also pleased: “Volunteers are the good soul of sport and offer great stories. With this award, clubs can finally say thank you.”

Rosenberger named district winner

Simone Rosenberger is delighted about the district victory in the Perg district. The young lady pulls the strings in a sport dominated by men: she is the head of the football section at Askö Perg and takes care of a lot more at Askö Perg.

The district winners were each rewarded with 1,000 euros and a trophy and a certificate.

State winners awarded

From the 16 district winners, Manfred Fredy Karl Rigler, youth leader of SK Schärding, was chosen as the state winner. He can look forward to an additional prize money of 1,000 euros.
