SPAR Austria donated €50,000 from the proceeds of the 2026 Stickermania campaign to ‘Rettet das Kind Österreich’ (Save the Children Austria).

The donation supports projects across Austria for children and families in difficult life situations. This ranges from emergency aid and care for socially vulnerable children to work with people with disabilities. In this way, SPAR Austria is once again combining the fun of the Stickermania collection with social responsibility.

“I am very pleased that, together with our customers, we can hand over €50,000 to ‘Save the Children’ this year from the proceeds of the Stickermania campaign. With this donation, we can offer new prospects to children and families facing challenging life situations,” said Markus Kaser, Deputy Chairman of the Board at SPAR Austria.

The €50,000 raised will benefit the regional branches of ‘Save the Children’, ensuring that help goes right where it is needed.

About SPAR Austria

The origins of the SPAR brand in Austria date back to 1954. The current SPAR AG was created in 1970 when the original founding families joined other regional wholesalers to form SPAR Austria AG, a 100% privately owned Austrian company. Company-owned stores operate throughout the country in the multi-format retail strategy developed since the 1960’s, whilst independent retailers operate under sub-license from SPAR Austria and continue building the brand’s presence.
