Danny Makkelie - ambassador
Referee professional soccer
To me, the High Five Foundation is a warm-hearted organization with all hardworking volunteers who work with passion and love for children whose parents are affiliated with the food bank. When you see how happy and grateful the children respond, it is extremely satisfying. What especially appeals to me is that 100% of the donations benefit the children who can therefore enjoy carefree fun and an unforgettable day.
Henk Donkervoort - ambassador
Owner Donkervoort Communications
I have been an ambassador for the High Five Foundation since September 2018 after being confronted up close with the work this club of people does for children whose parents depend on the food bank.
dutifully, conscientiously and with love, 5 fantastic events are organized for that target group every year.
Professional sources are tapped to make it known that this club also needs money and an active presence at the activities where money is "raised" for this charity also shows commitment. The participation of and among the numerous volunteers is impressive.
I am proud to be an ambassador for the High Five Foundation!
Karin Lambrechts - ambassador
Former Beter Voor Dordt alderman
Last year, as alderman, I got to present the volunteer award to the high five foundation. I had already heard of the organization but from that moment on I got to know the people behind it better. Especially Judith made me enthusiastic!
I have three children myself and know how they enjoy going out for the day and also shopping. Exactly the things that are not possible when your parents have to turn every dime. I did not have to think long when I was asked to become an ambassador: YES was my answer!
I saw on September 22, 2018 where, among other things, the money from my farewell reception went: shopping for a winter outfit, watching movies and eating good food. Great to see all those happy little faces on the red carpet! Nice to be part of a great team of volunteers who do fantastic work!
Hopefully, with your support, we can give many more children in our city an enjoyable day. They deserve it!
Pim Blokland - ambassador
Founder Rotterdam Sports icons
Giving children a fun day gives life extra sparkle. For that reason, I became one of the 2017 founders and board members of Rotterdamse Sporticonen. A foundation with ANBI status that organizes nineteen free events named after great Rotterdam athletes. In 2018, a team from the High Five Foundation participated in the Coen Moulijn Memorial Cup. I was then able to make an extra contribution by dressing the foundation's team in new clothing through my clothing brand Klupp Sportswear.
One conversation is often enough to become convinced of people's passion and drive. That the board of the High Five Foundation asked me to become an ambassador as well was not really the intention. But to someone like Judith Holster you don't say 'no'. Hopefully I will be of added value to the foundation and its goals, and especially to the children of families who depend on the Food Bank. Not in name, but especially in deed. Giving their lives extra sparkle from time to time.
