Achieving More Together: World Freestyle e.V. Honored as “Club of the Year”!
Clubs have always been a powerful tool to bring people with a shared passion together. They provide a united voice, combine dedication and expertise, and create a lasting impact in their communities.
The East German Savings Banks Association (OSV) recognizes this commitment with the “Club of the Year in the State of Brandenburg” award. During a festive gala on November 28, 2024, at the Kongresshotel Potsdam, particularly dedicated clubs were given a well-deserved stage in front of more than 430 guests.
Our club, World Freestyle e.V., has long established itself as a global flagship – thanks to your support! This year, we were thrilled to once again inspire over 100 participants from more than 20 nations to join our event in Brandenburg an der Havel.
We are often asked why we host a world championship in a small city like Brandenburg instead of Berlin. But our answer remains the same: smaller cities, away from the hustle and bustle of big metropolises, need civic engagement the most. Enriching and actively shaping our hometown – that’s what drives us.
World Freestyle e.V. is not just about top athletic performance. We are deeply committed to supporting young talent, especially children and teenagers from challenging social backgrounds. “Many international friendships have been formed through our competition,” emphasized our chairman Christian Heise.
For this dedication, we were honored with the title “Club of the Year” and received a prize of €2,500. Our chairman Christian Heise accepted the award together with vice chairwoman Melanie Gebert and treasurer Daniel Welzel. This prize gives us confidence and momentum as we head into an exciting 2025, with plans that are bigger than ever!
“Brandenburg can be proud of clubs like this,” said Andreas Schulz, Chairman of the Board of Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse, during the award ceremony. “World Freestyle e.V. is a role model for regional commitment with international appeal.”
We share this vision and are delighted to have inspired people with our goals. With great enthusiasm, we look forward to the coming year and hope you’ll join us again in 2025 as we set new milestones together.
Until then, take care and have a wonderful winter!
