On the weekend of July 23-24, the 12th Bosch Boxberg Classic rally started at the Bosch plant in Karlsruhe, with 180 vintage and classic cars. In summer 2011 a very special automotive event, because both - the automobile and the Robert Bosch GmbH - are celebrating their 125th anniversary.

The rally has been around since 2000 and enjoys an ever-growing popularity with auto wrenches and classic car enthusiasts. Our special thanks go to everyone who attended the evening event on Saturday night, bought raffle tickets or donated and helped to organise the event: we were able to raise 3,235 € for Primavera projects!

Despite the tropical heat, nearly 4,000 guests and friends participated in the 3 rd Family Day of Bosch Power Tools in Leinfelden. They experienced a perfectly organized event with great entertainment and informational programs, including exhibits, a parade, games and contests for visitors of all ages.

Of course, delicious and abundant food was part of the event and plenty of refreshments were served for the thirsty. Talking about refreshments! The local fire station brought their truck and used their fire hose to spray and cool the guests, to the delight of the little ones in particular.

This event fell under the direction of Claus Kemmner (PT/TCR-Le), General Manager of the Leinfelden location. The activities of the day were organized by several PT departments, who provided fun ideas and suggestions, making the day memorable. On the day of the event, 250 employees and volunteers guaranteed the success of the day.

Primavera was also part of the festivities and sold the beloved Bosch mini’s: electric power tool toys for children, with profits benefiting “Aid for Kids in Need”. At the end of the day Primavera collected 1,623.03 Euros for its cause.

It was a very special and wonderful Family Day at Bosch Power Tools in Leinfelden.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Primavera, 2 Bosch manufacturing plants in Nuremberg (NuP1 and NuP2) started a fund-raiser for Primavera. Primavera supports 37 projects in 15 different countries. Every Euro goes directly to the projects, which help children from slum areas in developing and emerging countries and offers them a new perspective in life.

Altogether, the NuP associates gave 570 EUR to Primavera. The on-site catering company raised awareness for Primavera by offering special dishes during the Primavera-Lunchweek.

Between May 18 and 22, the Nuremberg plants invited for donations: in NuP1 DH-students organized an info & donation booth in front of the canteen. In NuP2 the action was supported by the diversity team, represented by Irene Balzer, Joanna Lazaridou and Christoph Paul. WVP in person of Mr. Wilhelm organized a charity cake sale.

Special thanks go to to all associates who contributed to this event with their donations.

It was another great concert of the BoJO, conducted by Sepp Herzog, and a beautiful and entertaining evening in general, which was extremely well-organized by a team of the JMPler. Also, a tombola lured with attractive prices which had been sponsored by the division of Power tools.

The BoJO enchanted the listeners with its music from the very beginning - with swing as well as partly unknown rhythms. However, also with classics like the Bossa Nova "Blue Bossa", "You of are the sunshine of my life" or "Bei mir bist du schoen". This time, besides the well-known singer Miriam Angstmann, Sepp Herzog had also brought another singer, Katharina Müller. Just like Miriam, Katharina adjusted extremely well to the style of the BoJO and, nevertheless, did not give up on her personal note.

The public thanked the musicians for the offered performances with loud and long continuous applause. The orchestra chose the song "Streetlife" as an encore, which gave Miriam the chance to unfold her entire vocal bandwidth one more time. The listeners thanked for the fantastic concert with donations of 2.176 EUR.
