arvato Systems Supports the Children’s Wish Foundation

• Gala event helps grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses
• arvato company supports Canadian foundation

arvato Systems became aware of the Children’s Wish Foundation during its many years of close cooperation with major companies in the Canadian broadcasting and media industry. A gala event in May this year will give the IT specialists the opportunity to support the foundation’s cause and, at the same time, treat some of its customers to a very special evening.

arvato Systems is well established in the Canadian market with its Broadcast and Media Solutions. Its broadcast management systems have been implemented for more than 70 Canadian television channels. The company became aware of the Children’s Wish Foundation, created in 1984, through its close local contacts. To date, this foundation has made the wishes of more than 19,000 children with life-threatening illnesses come true. The foundation relies on financial aid in order to be able to continue creating these once-in-a-lifetime, indescribable moments for children in the future.

To help achieve this goal, the gala ‘De Rêve en Rêve’ (‘From Dream to Dream’) will be held in Montreal on 2 May 2013. arvato Systems is pleased to be able to support the event as well as the foundation itself through the purchase of tickets for selected customers.

“We strive to successfully pursue business relations beyond the borders of our continent. Within this context, we are also aware of our social responsibility. ‘De Rêve en Rêve’ is a wonderful opportunity for us to be able to act on it,” says Dr. Manfred Heinen, CEO of arvato Systems S4M GmbH in Cologne, cheerfully.
