Golden rascal
The Golden Rascal is an award from the International Club of Schlitzohren eV for personalities who excel in a "positive, clever" way. The aim of the International Club of Rascals is to help children in need around the world. To achieve this, projects worthy of funding are selected and donations are used. The winners receive an honorary award, the amount of which depends on the donations received. In the last few years, 25,000 euros were available for each of the winners to spend in the interests of the Schlitzohren Club.
