The ST. MARTINS THERME & LODGE is donating day thermal baths admission tickets for MOKI – the mobile child nursing care service in Burgenland. "Especially in our stressful everyday work environment, we want to give the nurses from MOKI Burgenland a small break from routine, allowing them to fully recharge their batteries and gather plenty of strength for challenging times," says Martin Adelwöhrer, General Manager of the ST. MARTINS THERME & LODGE. "ST. MARTINS is the perfect place to truly disconnect from everyday professional life. A day visit to the thermal baths is a welcome change of pace. A heartfelt thank you on behalf of all our nurses!", says a delighted Nadia Havel from MOKI Burgenland.

Laughter is healthy, as both the Red Noses Clowndoctors and the employees of St. Martins Therme & Lodge know. That is why they are calling for the Red Nose Season today – and everyone is joining in when it comes to the well-being of the children: management, employees, and guests, and even the chickens from Gut St. Martins are participating. Red noses are available for a small donation throughout St. Martins Therme & Lodge, a resort of VAMED Vitality World.

“The initiative by the Clowndoctors clearly demonstrates how important it is to harness the power of laughter and positive energy in all aspects of life to improve well-being and quality of life,” says General Manager Martin Adelwöhrer, ST. MARTINS THERME & LODGE. “An atmosphere of joy, laughter, and healing is simply invaluable. That is why we have decided to support the Red Noses Clowndoctors again this year.” Guests at the ST. MARTINS THERME & LODGE were able to take home a red nose in exchange for a small donation, raising a total of € 2,000 for the organization this year as well.

ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge is donating a family day pass for the thermal baths to MOKI – mobile pediatric nursing Burgenland. "Especially in challenging times, we want to bring a smile to the face of a strained family with a wellness day. For a few hours, the children can escape everyday life together with their parents and experience relaxation, fun and joy," says Lisa Brettl, Head of Marketing & Sales at ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. Deputy health and nursing professional Evelyn Schneider from MOKI Burgenland shares: "A little time out in a very challenging everyday life with seriously ill children does a lot of good. We are extremely pleased that we can surprise a family with a family day pass for the thermal baths. A day at the thermal baths is a welcome change for the family. Thank you very much for this!"

Once again, 14 children and their 5 supervisors experienced an extraordinary day on Tuesday, 26 July 2022 at ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. "At our invitation, the Ukrainian orphans and their companions spent a wonderful day swimming here at the thermal baths," says Klaus Hofmann, Managing Director of ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. "Gratefully, the municipality of Apetlon also invited the guests to enjoy refreshments in the market restaurant. And the children clearly enjoyed their visit."

On 20 July, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge invited the athletes of the BFV Disability Support Association Neusiedl am See to a Seewinkel Safari. The participants of the Special Olympics Summer Games, which took place in Burgenland this year, were able to experience and discover the flora and fauna firsthand with our expert ST. MARTINS rangers. They were very interested, and the adventurous experiences around ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge will remain in their memory for a long time. 

The team "ST. MARTINS Trockenschnepfen" set themselves a more than ambitious goal for this year's BirdRace: the three ornithologists wanted to discover more than 100 bird species within 24 hours on the grounds of the ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. "We are thrilled ourselves and filled with humility at the biodiversity we have here on the grounds – our experts not only achieved their goal, but more than exceeded it with 107 bird species," explains Managing Director Klaus Hofmann, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. "A remarkable 205 bird species have already been counted on our grounds alone. This is a biodiversity in the immediate vicinity of thermal baths that is second to none."

On the occasion of World Water Day on 23 March 2022, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge is supporting the UNICEF aid project "Clean drinking water saves lives". Pure and healthy drinking water is not a matter of course in many parts of the world, even when sufficient natural resources are basically available. As a sign of compassion, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge is donating € 1,000 to the aid project, which provides drinking water to people affected by war and disaster.

Red noses will also be happily passed on in exchange for a small donation. "We decided to support this important organization with € 1,000 and have now received 500 red noses for this purpose. We are happy to pass them on as well – and every donation in turn benefits the Red Noses Clowndoctors," explains Managing Director Klaus Hofmann, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. "With a total donation of € 2,000, we are gifting laughter together – which is often priceless, especially in difficult times."

Even in difficult times, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge remains loyal as a supporter of SC Frauenkirchen with a funding contribution of € 10,000, which benefits the 9 teams including the women's team, young talents, and the infrastructure. To ensure a good sporting future for the youth, a camp for Seewinkel children with around 80 participants will take place in the summer of 2022. Thanks to the generous support of ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge, families are financially relieved, and children are offered a top program and all-day supervision during the summer holidays. Not only is football brought closer, but also other sports such as fishing, tennis, basketball, crossfit, stand-up paddling, and much more. SC Frauenkirchen expresses its gratitude to its helpers with 40 daily thermal baths admissions, which were also provided by ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge.

True to the motto "ST. MARTINS FAIRzaubert", the team at ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge is donating this year so that families in the region can spend a wonderful Christmas with their children. 

"Especially in these challenging times, we must pull closer together and look out for those who do not have it so easy in life," says Managing Director Klaus Hofmann, ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge. "Unfortunately, we had to cancel our charity Christmas market, which would have enchanted us all, due to the pandemic. It is all the more important to all of us to still implement our charity project and help, especially at Christmas."

ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge donated a total of 2,000 euros for people in the region – the money was handed over to the Kiwanis Club Neusiedl am See/Tabor in order to provide the most optimal support possible. "With the money, we were able to buy Christmas gifts for children, but also cover the costs for rent, electricity, heating, or groceries," explain the Kiwanis women. "Even the coverage of school and childcare costs was still possible, because education is an investment in the future of our children. On behalf of the families, we would like to sincerely thank the ST. MARTINS team for their commitment. They are definitely bringing Christmas into several homes with this." 

Markus Pfeffer from St. Martins Therme & Lodge was able to spread a little Easter joy at the Red Cross in Neusiedl on Maundy Thursday: he dropped off small chocolate Easter bunnies as a thank-you for the tireless helpers, which were gratefully received by Red Cross President Friederike Pirringer and Operations Commander Florian Feldmann. The Easter bunnies were originally intended for guests at the thermal baths and were now donated to the Red Cross – in recognition of the exceptional work currently being done.

Klaus Hofmann, Managing Director of the St. Martins Therme & Lodge, has now handed over a belated Christmas present to Petra Györik and her son Max: € 3,000 was raised as part of the charity Christmas market. The money is urgently needed for a new wheelchair.

"Last year, we decided that the proceeds from the exclusively regional sales booths would benefit a family from the region who urgently needs support," Hofmann says. "I am very pleased that our guests eagerly shopped at the Advent market and that we raised a considerable sum. I hope that we can help Max and his mom a good deal with this." The handover took place today at the St. Martins Therme & Lodge; Max and Petra Györik came together with brother Beni.

A full program for young and old takes place on the last Advent weekend before St. Martins thermal baths: on 22 & 23 December, punch and sales stalls await numerous visitors from 16:00 to 21:00. A diverse supporting program is provided: a nativity scene exhibition, a Christmas concert, and an exciting explorers Christmas program for children await visitors. This year, the proceeds from the exclusively regional sales stalls will go to Petra Györik and her son Max from Tadten to help them purchase a new wheelchair.

Twelve children experienced an extraordinary day yesterday, Tuesday, at the St. Martins Therme & Lodge. "At our invitation, the twelve Ukrainian orphans and their four companions spent a wonderful day swimming here at the thermal baths," says Klaus Hofmann, Managing Director of the St. Martins Therme & Lodge. "When we heard that the children were in Burgenland thanks to the organization of the municipality of Apetlon, the decision was clear: the kids should be able to spend a wonderful day here. Thankfully, the municipality of Apetlon also invited the guests from Ukraine to enjoy food and drinks at the market restaurant. And the children clearly had a lot of fun during their visit."

A special Christmas surprise for the SOS Children's Village in Pinkafeld was made possible by ST. MARTINS Therme & Lodge in the Burgenland region of Seewinkel: the traditional charity Advent market, which always takes place on the weekend before Christmas, raised a total of an impressive 3,000 euros.
