FCK fan club Strohhood Devils: Secure proud donations for Frankenthal!
What's going on in Frankenthal? A happy event is in the spotlight that not only makes the hearts of football fans beat faster, but also benefits numerous institutions in the city. The FCK fan club Strohhood Devils has raised proud donations by selling a special anniversary button, which will be distributed to three local organizations. This campaign took place as part of the 50th Straw Hat Festival and shows that passion for football can easily be combined with social commitment. Frankenthal.de reports that the fan club's board members, Oliver Dämgen and Patrick Divivier, visited the multi-generation house (MGH) in mid-June 2025 to officially hand over the donations.
Many thanks for the support came from the MGH coordinators, Kerstin Görlitz and Tyshea Washington. They were pleased with the generous gesture and thanked the Strawhood Devils for their commitment on behalf of the city administration. The sum generated from the sale of the anniversary button will now equally benefit three institutions in Frankenthal. It becomes clear that real community is practiced here.
50 years of Straw Hat Festival
The Straw Hat Festival is an integral part of Frankenthal's tradition and attracts not only locals but also many visitors. This year, the Strohhood Devils fan club not only celebrated an anniversary, but also enhanced the festival with their own anniversary button, which invites the entire village to celebrate. Cornelia Grewe from the Helfeelfen was also present at the event and contributed to the good atmosphere. Rhine Palatinate highlights that this initiative is much more than just an expression of fan passion - it shows a willingness to support the community.
But the Strawhood Devils aren't the only ones active. The 1. FC Kaiserslautern fan clubs are also involved in a larger movement. The “Our Football” initiative, which calls for a fundamental overhaul of the football system, has already won around 60 fan clubs to its cause. The Betze brennt reports on the goals of this movement, which strives for more sustainable and citizen-oriented football after the pandemic. It becomes clear that FCK fans don't just stand on the sidelines, but also want to actively help shape the future of football.
In Frankenthal, the Strohhood Devils fan club shows how much joy and positive engagement can come from sport. This combination of passionate football enthusiasm and social responsibility makes life in the community a whole lot more worth living. This makes it clear: With the Strohhood Devils, every kick is a step in the right direction for the city and beyond.
