Golfmarathon 2026
August 29th, 2026
Golf Marathon Heroes Raise €41,000 for GIST.
On Saturday, August 29th 2026, 33 enthusiastic golf heroes set out to play 45 holes of golf in a single day. Their goal was to raise as much money as possible for GIST. The event took place on the beautiful polder course in Spierdijk. At exactly 6:45 a.m., the horn sounded, and the first balls were teed off. After a somewhat rainy day, the participants began streaming back in around 6:00 p.m., tired but very satisfied.
With a total of €41,000 in donations, we can safely say that this day was once again a huge success.
A very heartfelt thank you to all participants, volunteers, sponsors, the golf marathon organizers, and, of course, Spierdijk Golf Course.
Theater for GIST
November 2025
At the beginning of November 2025, theater company ‘Nieuw Leven’ performed an anniversary play: Bajesbonje. The company was founded in 1945, so in 2025 it celebrated its 80th anniversary!
This year’s performance took place at a special location: pop-up theater Aventuur! As a thank you for the use of this location, the society donated a generous amount of 750 euros to GIST.
Many thanks to all the actors and volunteers of the theater company for this wonderful gesture.
Sky Radio worldrecord
Christmas 2025
Sky Radio made a special attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest Christmas stollen in the world. The stollen—measuring no less than tens of meters in length—was baked by bakers from Amarant Bakkers, who were proud to participate in this festive initiative.
What made this campaign extra special is that Sky Radio is linking it to a generous donation to GIST. This world record attempt therefore contributes directly to the work of GIST and to opportunities for bakers worldwide.
