Animal Support for a Good Cause
Dear Families and Friends,
sometimes it is the unexpected heroes who create the most wonderful stories. In our case, that hero is Balou, a lively Goldendoodle. While other dogs collect sticks, Balou has developed a very special passion – he collects seemingly lost golf balls. And he does so with remarkable success: an entire bin is now filled to the brim!
His owner had a brilliant idea: why not turn this into a charity guessing game? “How many golf balls are in the bin?” – this question will accompany us this summer at two very special event series.
Ruhrorter Campusabende 2026
July 2 – 26 | Haniel Campus, Duisburg-Ruhrort
Where culture meets commitment: once again, the Ruhrorter Campusabende offer a diverse program featuring cabaret, concerts, comedy, and children’s theatre. Artists such as Wolfgang Trepper, Aydin Işik, and Kai Magnus Sting will be part of the line-up.
We are delighted to be part of this unique atmosphere! On-site, we invite you to join in our charity guessing game centered around Balou’s impressive golf ball collection.
The best part:
Exciting prizes await the winners
Every guess supports our charitable work
Oberhausener Schlossnächte 2026
July 30 – August 9 | Schloss Oberhausen
At the Oberhausener Schlossnächte, too, it’s all about enjoying culture while doing good! Look forward to highlights such as “Achtsam morden” – das Live-Hörspiel, cabaret with Patrik Nederkoorn & Nito Torres, and “Schillers sämtliche Werke – leicht gekürzt”.
And right in the middle of it all: our popular guessing game featuring Balou’s remarkable collection!
Our heartfelt thanks
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to:
the organizers of the Ruhrorter Campusabende and Oberhausener Schlossnächte,
all artists for their inspiring performances,
our generous supporters and sponsors,
and, of course, a very special thank-you to Balou.
Without you, it would not be possible to combine culture and social engagement in such a wonderful way.
We warmly invite you to join us, take a guess, and help us continue supporting people through dolphin-assisted therapy.
Kind regards,
Your team at
