Eisbär is supporting the OFFISY Christmas Charity 2025
Sometimes it is the small gestures that make the biggest difference. A beanie that does more than just keep you warm – it gives hope. For five years, the OFFISY Christmas Charity has stood for lived charity and solidarity. Year after year, the initiative led by Stefanie Schauer, Managing Director of OFFISY GmbH, collects donations for the Linz Women's Shelter – supporting women and children in need of protection and a fresh start.
Eisbär is proud to be part of this special campaign – with limited-edition charity beanies, the proceeds from which will once again be donated in full to the Linz Women's Shelter. A collaboration that shows: Warmth means more when you share it.
Giving warmth together
“The Offisy Charity makes a valuable contribution to helping women and children in difficult life situations. As a company based in Upper Austria, it is very important to us to take on social responsibility – and to pass on warmth, protection, and a glimmer of hope with our beanies,” says Jürgen Nairz, Managing Director of Eisbär Sportmoden GmbH.
For Eisbär Marketing Manager Martina Hamberger, the focus is also on taking responsibility through quality: “We are pleased that our beanies do not just provide warmth, but help to secure paths in life.”
Help that makes a difference
The Linz Women's Shelter offers women and their children protection, refuge, and new perspectives. “With the proceeds, we fund what makes an immediate difference for those affected: emergency aid for basic necessities, support in 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 into a new life.
Small gestures with a big impact
“No one can save the world alone. But everyone can do something small in their own little corner,” says initiator Stefanie Schauer. What began with personal motivation has now become a movement that touches and connects people: those who want to help with those in need of help.
“Our campaigns show that many small contributions can have a major effect. Every hat, every donation, every gesture counts.”
