Duisburg Sports Aid
The Duisburger Sporthilfe had set itself the task of promoting talented and motivated athletes from Duisburg clubs in material and ideal terms.
This was done through grants made up of donations and membership fees, which are paid to clubs and individual athletes. The selection was made by a funding meeting, in which a decision was made on the applications submitted during the year.
The Duisburger Sporthilfe eV dissolved on December 31, 2016.
