K&H Group pays special attention to sports as part of its corporate social responsibility and specifically its community engagement efforts. Since commitment, determination and excellence are key priorities for K&H, it was a natural choice for us to become a long-term and large-scale sponsor of sports.

Financial Institution of the Hungarian Paralympic Team

K&H is committed to sponsoring the sports life of Hungary, in which Paralympians are prominent members, yet receive less attention and support than their healthy peers, in spite of their equivalent or even superior performance and results. K&H Group has been a sponsor of the Hungarian Paralympic Team since July 2006, providing it with financial services and supporting Paralympians in their training and preparations.

Our cooperation agreement, extended in 2021, states that K&H continues to serve as sponsor of the Hungarian Paralympic Committee and ‘Financial Institution of the Hungarian Paralympic Team’. We provide financial services to the organisation and the Paralympians, helping them prepare for international competitions with a secure background and without any disruptions.

With its high-quality services and commitment to Hungarian sports, K&H Group is a reliable partner for Hungarian Paralympians.

K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme

In addition to sponsoring the Hungarian Paralympic Committee, K&H has been providing individual support to Paralympians with extraordinary talent since 2007, and also recognised the work of their helpers since 2015 through the K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme. Athletes need to work hard to prepare for competitions, which is impossible without a stable mental and financial background. Under our grant programme, every year three outstanding athletes are awarded gross HUF 1 million each. Grant winners in three categories – adult, promising and helper – are selected by a professional jury. Since the launch of the programme, 37 athletes including 29 para-athletes and 8 helpers received a total of HUF 32 million.

Winners of the K&H go! paralympic grant programme in 2024:

adult category: Alexa Szvitacs, table tennis

promising category: Bence Mocsári, triathlon

helper category: Viktória Mesteri, sword play

K&H go! PE teacher of the year

Besides sponsoring top athletes, K&H also focuses on promoting healthy lifestyles among young people. In 2024, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Active Schools Programme and launched the initiative “K&H Go! PE Teacher of the Year” with the aim of celebrating physical education teachers whose motivation and enjoyable classes instil a love of exercise in children.

The programme invited the general public to nominate their favourite PE teachers. The teachers with the most votes entered the county stage of the competition in three categories:

•           PE teachers from schools with 200 or less pupils,

•           PE teachers from schools with more than 200 pupils, and 

•           young PE teachers under 30 years of age.

The teachers having received the most votes in their respective counties in the above categories have been awarded the “K&H Go! PE Teacher of the Year” county title. The county winners are going on to compete for the national title. The votes can be cast on the websites of county newspapers until 10 June. The category winners will receive the “K&H Go! PE Teacher of the Year” national awards.

Therefore, we want to be the reference here too by supporting dedication, perseverance and outstanding performance.

K&H MediMagic medical equipment purchase application scheme

Launched back in 2004, the K&H MediMagic equipment purchase scheme supports Hungarian pediatric health care with innovative medical devices. Our important objective in creating such a scheme was to provide access to new instruments for as many institutions as possible, helping doctors and nurses rely on accurate diagnostic tools in making their smart decisions. This is how K&H would like to contribute to the full life of the present and future generations. Under the auspices of our MediMagic scheme, hospitals, specialist clinics, ambulance stations, pediatric GPs’ practices, district nurses’ services and various foundations promoting the treatment and recovery of sick children have so far received new equipment worth more than a total of HUF 875 million, on altogether 551 occasions.

Applications for the 2024 K&H MediMagic equipment purchase scheme may be submitted between 19 March and 15 April. For the full documentation of the scheme and for additional information about applications, please visit www.khgyogyvarazs.hu.

Our colleagues and partners regularly join us in supporting the children’s health institutions applying for the scheme, and therefore we have also been able to help with additional donations:

1% of personal income tax

Thanks to those who offered 1% of their personal income tax to K&H MediMagic in 2020 and 2021, the ambulance station of Pécs has received equipment to be used in the treatment of children worth HUF 301,740.

Thanks to those who allocated 1% of their personal income tax to K&H MediMagic in 2022, the ambulance service of Dunaföldvár has received devices that make the response of the service faster and more accurate for HUF 618,586. These innovative devices assist paramedics in stabilising children’s pelvises, resuscitating children, and in case of breathing problems.

Christmas donation

As a result of the K&H employees’ Christmas donation, general paediatrics practice district No. 4 of Dunakeszi has received a urine tester, a CRP tester and a modern no-contact thermometer.

K&H ‘Healers of the Future’ award

To mark the 20th anniversary of the K&H MediMagic program, we have created our K&H ‘Healers of the Future’ award to recognize young medics who put their heart and soul into healing children, using innovative methods in their care.

The award was open to applications by pediatric general practitioners and specialists – fully qualified and practicing physicians, as well as residents studying towards their specialist qualifications – below 40 years of age, while nominations were also invited from the general public.

The young medical professionals could apply in three categories:

• pediatric residents and specialist candidates,
• pediatric general practitioners, and
• pediatric specialists working at healthcare institutions.

A total of 81 physicians applied for the award.

The judges, the media sponsors and the general public selected from among these applicants the 8 pediatricians who received the K&H ‘Healers of the Future’ award. The winners received HUF 1.3 million each, of which HUF 300,000 may be spent specifically on their further training so that they can treat their young patients even more effectively, using even more innovative technologies.
