The new CSR priority project of FK Austria Wien

We want to create awareness for the disease DBA ("Diamond-Blackfan anemia") as well as for the corresponding research on cures. Most recently, FK Austria Wien was represented at the New Year's meeting at the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) on the subject of DBA.

Researchers at IMBA (Institute of Molecular Biotechnology) under the lead of Prof. Josef Penninger are analysing the molecular causes of this disease in order to lay the foundation for a cure.

DBA is the abbreviation for the severe, yet incurable and very rare disease "Diamond Blackfan anemia". Josefine and Luis - two children from Vienna, five and six years old - are affected. Their bodies cannot form red blood cells. They have to get blood transfusions every three weeks. Without these blood donations, they cannot survive.

They are lovingly and medically being taken care of by their family, as well as by their doctors and nurses in the St. Anna Children's Hospital. Players and crew members of FK Austria Wien pay a traditional visit during the time before Christmas every year.

The Vienna DBA project will run for over three years

The Vienna DBA project was launched in the beginning of 2017 and is scheduled to run for three years. 210 000 € of funding are required each year. Since the beginning of 2017 219 000 € have been collected so far.

Research on rare diseases needs the support of many. Already more than 260 donors have supported the research project so far.

With our CSR umbrella brand ‘Violett ist mehr’, we want to create awareness and support the donation project.
