Ten thousand euros for organ donation education

Roland and Martina Arnold PARAVAN Foundation supports the “Young Heroes” association

Pfronstetten/ Oberdischingen, April 3, 2025 - A strong signal for life and education: On Sunday, Roland and Martina Arnold handed over a donation of 10,000 euros on behalf of the Roland and Martina Arnold PARAVAN Foundation at an information and charity event to benefit the Junge Helden e. V. association. The money will be used to support the association's organ donation education activities throughout Germany.

Angela Ipach, co-founder and co-director of Young Heroes, was visibly moved: "We are overwhelmed by this generous donation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and trust. With this help, we can continue to expand our projects and reach even more people. 

A fate that moves - and motivates action

Martina and Roland Arnold were impressed by the association's commitment and the moving story of the Metzger family from Oberdischingen, whose child finally received a donor organ after a long wait. "Examples like this show us how important it is to address the issue of organ donation," says Roland Arnold. "And how valuable it is to support organizations such as Junge Helden e.V., who put their heart and soul into raising awareness."

Junge Helden e.V. provides information about organ donation on a voluntary basis - at events, in clinics, at festivals, on social media or with the award-winning Opt.Ink campaign, the organ donation tattoo. The goal is to make young people aware of the issue and encourage them to make a conscious decision - and to talk openly about it.

Martina Arnold emphasizes: "Every bit of help counts when it comes to saving lives. It is very important for us to support this kind of educational work. Every donation counts, no matter how big or small. Everyone can contribute".

The Roland and Martina Arnold PARAVAN Foundation has been committed to inclusion, participation and social responsibility for many years. A particular focus is the support of education, prevention and health projects.
