Jena, February 27, 2026 – SV SCHOTT Jena e.V. has presented a donation of 2,000 euros to the Förderverein Hospiz Jena. The amount results from the proceeds of the club’s own dance gala and will benefit the direct support of seriously ill people in the Lichtstadt.
- What: Donation presentation of 2,000 euros
- Donor: SV SCHOTT Jena e.V.
- Recipient: Förderverein Hospiz Jena
- Date of presentation: February 26, 2026
- Origin of funds: Proceeds from the sold-out dance gala at the Volkshaus (November 2025)
Successful Dance Gala Enables Support
The impressive donation sum comes from the proceeds of a large dance gala held on November 9, 2025, at the Jenaer Volkshaus. At the completely sold-out event, considerable surpluses were achieved through ticket sales and catering revenue. The members of SV SCHOTT Jena had already decided unanimously before the event to donate the entire financial profit to a social institution in the region.
Financial Relief for Palliative Work
On February 26, the symbolic check presentation took place directly on-site at the facility. The donation will support the essential work of the Jenaer Hospiz. Staff and volunteers are continuously dependent on such contributions to ensure the dignified and comprehensive support of people at the end of their lives and to relieve their relatives.
Background: Why Hospices Rely on Donations
SV SCHOTT Jena e.V. is one of the city’s largest multi-sport clubs and regularly engages in civil society alongside grassroots and competitive sports. The donation to the Förderverein has an extremely important background: In Germany, inpatient hospices are not 100 percent financed by health and long-term care insurance funds. Operators are legally required to raise part of their ongoing costs – usually five percent – themselves through donations. Without the solidary commitment of local clubs, private individuals, and companies, the palliative care services, which are free of charge for those affected, could not be maintained to this extent.
