From 22 to 26 July, BÜFA will once again be sponsoring the 77th Oldenburg State Tournament in Rastede. With more than 100 competitions in the disciplines of show jumping, dressage, eventing, driving and vaulting, this long-established event is one of Germany’s largest equestrian competitions. The sporting programme is complemented by show elements, exhibitors and a wide range of activities for visitors.
For BÜFA, the State Tournament offers the opportunity to actively support regional events whilst enabling staff to enjoy special experiences in the region. Such events create opportunities for socialising outside the daily work routine and are an important part of our commitment to staff retention.
Another integral part of our sponsorship is an annual fundraising campaign for a local charity. This year, the proceeds will go to Robby’s Drachenkids, an initiative run by VfL Oldenburg. For every competition ribbon that participating riders drop into our donation box, BÜFA will donate 5 euros. Robbys Drachenkids enables children with developmental disabilities to experience handball within an inclusive community. The focus is not on sporting performance, but on being together: the aim is to create a positive community in which every child feels welcome, experiences team spirit and can develop self-confidence.
