Veiling op je Club benefits sports clubs and Support Casper
Many fundraisers have supported Support Casper for years, including Hubert Habers through his initiative Veiling op je Club. Hubert helps sports clubs run successful auctions while also raising money for pancreatic cancer research. Here is how the partnership works.
A partnership formed at FC Lisse
Hubert's connection with Support Casper dates back to the foundation's earliest years. When valued FC Lisse volunteer Kees van Wieringen was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the club invited Professor Casper van Eijck and Support Casper director Sjoerd Zwanenburg to visit. FC Lisse became one of the campaign's first supporters: the Support Casper logo appeared on the shirts and every club auction included a donation.
Meet Hubert Habers
Veiling op je Club was created by Hubert Habers, a sports marketing professional with a passion for community clubs and Support Casper. He has spent twenty years advising clubs at Team Sportservice and served on the FC Lisse board for ten years, organising its annual auction for almost fifteen years. On Sjoerd Zwanenburg's advice, Hubert turned that experience into his profession and launched Veiling op je Club in 2018. He now helps clubs from Sneek to Sittard organise auction evenings, nearly all of which support Support Casper.
Win-win for the club and charity
Hubert believes the partnership helps clubs raise more. They can invest their share in sporting and social goals, such as making the clubhouse more sustainable or improving youth development, while Support Casper gains greater visibility and vital donations. Every participating club gives at least 10% of its proceeds to Support Casper. Together, the clubs have already donated more than €200,000.
Ambassador involvement
Support Casper's ambassadors make the auctions especially memorable. Whether it is a traditional clubhouse auction or an exclusive dinner show, they are keen to help. Hans van Breukelen often shares his personal story, while Dick Advocaat, Ronald Koeman and Caroline van der Plas have contributed unique items or experiences.
Support from start to finish
Organising an auction takes a great deal of work. Hubert coordinates everything from sourcing lots to print materials and communications, supported by a group of enthusiastic volunteers. The result is an unforgettable evening that makes a genuine difference.
Would your sports club like to support pancreatic cancer research while raising funds for the club? Hubert and his team will be happy to help you organise a successful auction. Visit www.veilingopjeclub.nl for more information, or email info@veilingopjeclub.nl.
