Support for local clubs
With two sponsoring campaigns, FORUM supports clubs in the municipality of Merching. With these campaigns, we not only assume social responsibility in our immediate surroundings, but also show our appreciation for the unifying power of sport and culture in equal measure.
A billboard for TSV Merching
One of the sponsorship campaigns concerns the local TSV Merching soccer club, where we are supporting the club by placing an advertising board on the soccer pitch. The advertising board, which bears the slogan “ We turn opportunities into success”, serves as a visible sign of our commitment to the club and its youth work in particular. Soccer has a unique ability to bring people together, and in this spirit we want to strengthen the social and community role of TSV Merching. The club has long been an integral part of the local community and the club’s youth work is commendable. Last year, we already made a sponsorship contribution to a youth team for new training outfits. Numerous young people not only learn the game here, but also values such as team spirit, discipline and fair play. We want to continue to make this possible in the future.
Support for the spring concert of the Merching Music Association
Another project of our Group concerns the Musikverein Merching (“Music Association”), for which we made a financial contribution to the spring concert on April 12, 2025 in the multi-purpose hall in Merching. The concert is a regular cultural highlight for the community. Under the motto “Stars & Starlets”, the musicians present their skills on various wind instruments. Admission is free of charge.

Achieving more together
Both sponsorship measures reflect our values. After all, both sport and music have always had a unique ability to connect people and celebrate creativity. They provide spaces for positive interactions and personal development, which we are happy to promote. Our support for TSV Merching and Musikverein Merching underlines our commitment to the social and cultural aspects of our region and contributes to the sustainable development of the community. We are proud to be part of these campaigns and look forward to seeing the results of the sponsorship. Whether on the soccer pitch or in the concert hall – we are convinced that numerous opportunities will turn into successes.
