Sports: Wildcats Cheerleading Leverkusen

Cheerleading combines strength, rhythm, courage, and precision. With the Wildcats, children and teens learn exactly that. More than 300 young people train here in dedicated teams and push themselves to new heights with every performance.

Social Issues & Society: Reuschenberg Wildlife Park

Here, children and families can experience firsthand just how vibrant nature can be. Goats to pet, lynxes and otters to marvel at, and forest trails to breathe deeply on. We support the Reuschenberg Wildlife Park as a vital part of our city, ensuring that people, memories, and nature remain intertwined.

Social Issues & Society: Leverkusen Food Bank

Everyone gives what they can – guided by this motto, people from all walks of life get involved: countless volunteers dedicate their free time to this cause – whether on a flexible, regular, or occasional basis, depending on what fits into their daily lives. Through our support of the Leverkusen Food Bank, we are helping to provide a service that offers tangible assistance to people in Leverkusen and strengthens social cohesion.

Volunteers from the food bank distribute bread to people in need in a welcoming environment.
