Over the past few months, we have received numerous colourful Spogli artworks from children and adolescents. A selection of these features on our anniversary T-shirt, which will be available from mid-August. All proceeds will go towards SPOGâs childhood cancer research.
Weâre absolutely overwhelmed! A few months ago, we invited children and adolescents to colour in a picture of our mascot Spogli and send their creations to us. The activity was a resounding success: we received over 80 colourful artworks. Weâd like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Spogli was particularly delighted by the many birthday messages. Among other things, the children wished Spogli a remote-controlled car, a jigsaw puzzle, Lego or lots of delicious cakes. Maya (aged 7) wrote: âI hope you continue on this important journey with the same strength and passion that set you apart.â And Maurice (aged 8) expressed a very special wish: âI wish you a medicine that can cure all children in just one minute.â
Proceeds for childrenâs cancer research
A unique âhidden objectâ picture has been created from a selection of the drawings submitted, which now adorns our anniversary T-shirt. Together, the artworks tell a story of hope and solidarity. They are colourful, strong and full of heart.
The anniversary T-shirt is currently in production and will be available from mid-August via our partner Stadtlandkindâs online shop. With every T-shirt sold, youâll be supporting our work. All proceeds will go towards SPOGâs childhood cancer research.
Further details about the launch will follow shortly.
âA thousand thanks for the brilliant drawings youâve given me for my birthday. Iâm absolutely delighted! The proceeds from the sale of these colourful T-shirts will give me new superpowers for research. Together, weâre getting closer to my greatest wish that one day, all children and young people with cancer can be cured.â
Spogli
Hello, I'm Spogli, the SPOG mascot. I'm always curious and wholeheartedly present whenever children and adolescents with cancer are being treated. My greatest wish is that one day all children and adolescents with cancer can be cured â that's why I support the doctors and accompany SPOG in its work.
To mark SPOG's 50th anniversary, something very special has been created: the "Chronicle of Hope". It tells the story of how everything began in 1976, which pioneers built up childhood cancer research in Switzerland â and how a time when cancer in children was mostly fatal has become a time when significantly more children and adolescents survive today.
