Tony Marshall: Active for 17 years
Together with his daughter Stella, Tony Marshall has been involved with his foundation for people with physical and multiple disabilities in Baden-Württemberg since 1999. The singer is committed to ensuring that they too can lead a self-determined and independent life. The foundation promotes new forms of living and activity so that people with disabilities can fulfill their personal and professional wishes and dreams.
A personal concern
Our daughter was born with a handicap. At the time, we received a lot of support from Lebenshilfe Baden-Baden, which does great and self-sacrificing work. But there is still a lot of room for improvement in Germany when it comes to care and support for people with disabilities,
Tony Marshall explains his motivation.
Major award for a special prizewinner
Tony Marshall has already achieved a great deal with his social commitment - a reason for Kinderlachen e.V. to present the singer with the KIND Award. "I am very pleased about the award. It helps us to gain greater attention for our cause," says a delighted Tony Marshall.
The award will be presented on November 26, 2016 at the Kinderlachen Gala in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle.
