Three women, one idea, enormous energy - and great team spirit from many people: 9600 euros were raised at the charity breakfast in Hilgertshausen.
The two sisters who lost their parents receive the money.
Hilgertshausen – All the seats in the sports center of TSV Hilgertshausen inside and outside were occupied, and as soon as a table became free, new guests sat down – from Hilgertshausen and beyond.
White sausages and wieners had to be reordered from time to time.
The benefit breakfast in the packed sports center of TSV Hilgertshausen, which Bettina Klimmer, Bettina Stichlmair and Nadja Zirnwald initiated and organized for the benefit of the two orphan girls, exceeded all expectations: 9600 euros were raised.
The two sisters who live in the village (14 and 15 years old) lost their mother to cancer a few months ago and their father ten years ago.
The aim of this charity campaign and the support from the chain of helping hands of the Dachauer Nachrichten is to
9600 euros collected at the benefit breakfast for Hilgertshausen orphan girls
The sense of community, the cohesion and the willingness to donate at the benefit breakfast were great.
Around 300 women, men and children came to the sports center or the next room for a few hours to enjoy a white sausage breakfast and to feed the donation boxes.
Due to lack of space, some even ate in the stands.
The guests were served friendly and lightning fast by young people from the village, younger children cleared the tables quickly and diligently.
The 400 white sausages and 130 Viennese sausages were donated by the Hauser butcher's shop, 360 pretzels, 105 rolls and 150 slices of bread came from the Kornprobst bakery - also for a "Vergelt's Gott".

Many companies helped as sponsors
Those who preferred a different breakfast could use three different spreads.
Other sponsors of this benefit breakfast were the Hilgertshausen companies FBH, Elektro Christoph Schmid and the Rausch Druck company in Augsburg run by Alfred Lugsch.
Among the sponsors, one should not forget the large group of women from Hilgertshausen who baked a large number of cakes and tarts and these were also given in exchange for donations.
The Hilgertshausen fruit and horticultural association also donated cakes and tarts.
Mayor waives gifts and donates
Mayor Markus Hertlein set a good example: He celebrated his birthday the day before and asked his guests and well-wishers for a donation for the two orphan girls instead of presents.
CSU member of parliament Bernhard Seidenath also attended this charity event together with his girlfriend.
Organizers happy about large willingness to donate
Everyone who contributed in any way was happy that the proud donation sum of 9600 euros came together at the end.
"In this way we can support the two girls financially and cover the running costs," say the three organizers.
The citizens of Hilgertshausen hope that the two sisters can stay in their parents' house - which was a wish of the deceased mother.
