Donation handover to the Bautzen Tigers
We were very pleased to give the youth sports club Bautzen Tigers eV a Christmas present as part of our sustainability project. The talented young athletes were delighted, because donations like this not only keep the club going, but also support team spirit, discipline and the social development of the children.

A helping hand in difficult times...
Celsion regularly donates money to various organisations, initiatives and other good causes in the region. Supporting nature protection and helping children, young people and animals are issues we constantly bear in mind. It is important to us that our employees help create our fundraising campaign calendar, by coming up with ideas.
Among others, we have supported the children’s hospice “Bärenherz Leipzig e.V.” and the animal shelter “Tierheim Oelzschau – Tierschutzverein Leipziger Land e.V.” Thanks to our help, the youth centre in Spreetal was also able to have a new heating system installed. Children’s aid projects and animal welfare organisations in particular are having a hard time at the moment.
The overall number of donations is decreasing due to the current crisis, and inflation is causing huge supply cost increases: a double whammy for such associations. As Team Celsion, we are happy to make a small contribution, and in doing so we attach great importance to regionality.
A green contribution:
an apple tree.
Celsion participated in the “Tree Challenge” campaign in Langenfeld in November 2022 and is now officially a tree sponsor.
Each tree makes a valuable contribution to carbon sequestration, oxygen production and as a habitat and food source for numerous animals.
2022
Celsion planting campaign for employees.
Spring is here: the world is buzzing and humming and we are enjoying the beauty of nature. To keep it that beautiful, the Celsion sales team came up with a special idea. Every employee received a voucher for €50 from a regional nursery or garden centre, which could be used to buy trees, flowers or even vegetables and plants for the balcony.
In recent years, the biomass of flying insects has declined by more than 75%. In addition, almost half of all insect species are considered to be endangered, or are already extinct. Fewer insects also mean less food for our native birds. By planting their garden or balcony, every Celsion employee can help preserve biodiversity.
2020
Donation presented to the railway friends association “Ost Sächsische Eisenbahn Freunde e.V. (OSEF)”.
The constant process of change and new attitude in society towards sustainability, among other things, motivated us to donate money to regional projects and associations instead of passing it on to our loyal customers in the form of gifts and presents. Knowing that a large number of local organisations were struggling with financial difficulties, especially in 2020, we and our employees decided to counter this by supporting one regional project each month. Selecting from numerous proposals and a large number of regional organisations, in December 2020 we chose a traditional organisation from Löbau. The association Ost Sächsische Eisenbahn Freunde e.V. (OSEF) has set itself the task of saving historic railway vehicles from being scrapped. They are lovingly and lengthily restored, and can also be hired for various festivities. The Covid pandemic caused the organisation a lack of income from train trip events and hiring. Thanks to our financial donation of € 10.000, the OSEF was able to get back on track and set off again at full steam in the next year. The ceremonial presentation took place at the beginning of the Advent season, on 1. December 2020, in front of our headquarters in Dresden. Boris Schubert, Managing Director of Celsion Brandschutzsysteme GmbH (left) and his wife Lucie Schubert (Head of Accounting, Human Resources, Logistics and Purchasing) presented the donation cheque to the Deputy Chairman of the OSEF, Ralph Gruner (right). Out staff member Annica Turski (centre) organised and coordinated the fundraising campaign and the presentation.

Jetskiarea – Celsion Racing
Competitive sports need sponsoring: it gives sportspeople enough time to train and a financial buffer so they can take part in competitions – and achieve long-lasting success. In the motorsport sector, we support jetski racer Lars Åkerblom. Lars is a member of the Celsion Racing Team and was ranked 2016rd in the world at the 3 UIM-ABP Aquabike World Championship. Our racer’s latest results can be found on our Facebookpage Jetskiarea / Celsion Racing.
