Eisbär supports the OFFISY Christmas Charity 2025

Sometimes it’s the small gestures that make the biggest difference. A beanie that not only keeps you warm – but offers hope.

For five years now, the OFFISY Christmas Charity has stood for compassion and solidarity in action. Every year, the initiative led by Stefanie Schauer, Managing Director of OFFISY GmbH, collects donations for the Linz Women’s Shelter – supporting women and children who need protection and a fresh start.

Eisbär is proud to be part of this meaningful initiative – with limited-edition charity beanies whose proceeds once again go entirely to the Linz Women’s Shelter. A collaboration that shows: warmth becomes even more powerful when it’s shared.

Sharing the gift of warmth

“Offisy Charity makes a valuable contribution in helping women and children in difficult life situations. As an Upper Austrian company, it is very important to us to take on social responsibility – and to pass on warmth, protection and a piece of hope with our beanies,” says Jürgen Nairz , Managing Director of Eisbär Sportmoden GmbH.

For Eisbär Marketing Director Martina Hamberger, the focus is also on taking responsibility through quality: “We are delighted that our beanies not only provide warmth, but also help to safeguard lives.”

Help that truly reaches those in need

The Linz women's shelter offers women and their children protection, refuge, and new perspectives. "With the proceeds, we finance what makes an immediate difference for those affected: emergency aid for the essentials, support with finding housing or moving out – and therapies that are otherwise not covered," explains Karin Raab , Managing Director of the Linz women's shelter.

This year alone , 64 women and over 70 children have found refuge there. For them, safety means the first step towards a new life.

Small gestures with a big impact

“No one can save the world alone. But everyone can do something small on their own little corner,” says initiator Stefanie Schauer. What began with personal motivation has now become a movement that touches and connects: people who want to help with those who need help.

"Our actions show that many small contributions can achieve great things. Every hat, every donation, every gesture counts."
