Custom bike as the main prize
The centerpiece of the raffle is the Guerilla 450, donated by Royal Enfield for conversion. The model was converted into a one-of-a-kind “Löwenherz” (Lionheart) by young people from Seehaus Leonberg under the guidance of Matze Stockmann in the Glemseck Moto workshop. The custom bike, which is also participating in the 1/8-mile race, was made possible by donations in kind and volunteer work. According to the organizers, the “Löwenherz” is not only visually appealing, but also suitable for racing.
Raffle tickets for a good cause
Raffle tickets can be ordered online via the Seehaus e. V. website or purchased directly at Glemseck 101 until September 7 at 12 noon. The prize draw will take place on September 7 at around 2 p.m. In addition to the main prize, there are numerous other prizes donated by companies from the motorcycle scene. The proceeds from the raffle will go toward projects supporting victims and working with juvenile offenders.
Focus on social engagement
Royal Enfield emphasizes the importance of the project for social responsibility and opportunities for young people. Kai Petermann, Marketing Manager DACH & EEC at Royal Enfield, explains: “The Seehaus e. V. initiative stands for social responsibility and real prospects for young people. We are delighted to continue the collaboration and to support Seehaus e. V. in its renovation project for the second year in a row. The fact that the Guerrilla 450 is becoming a platform for something new in this context sums up what ‘pure motorcycling’ can mean for us.”
Seehaus Leonberg pursues a concept of youth detention in a free form. The young people complete a structured daily program from 5:45 a.m. to 10 p.m., which includes elements such as early morning exercise, school attendance, community service, and victim empathy training. One goal is to enable young people to return to a life free of crime through education and responsibility. The workshop is currently looking for an instructor to teach the young people how to customize and restore motorcycles.
Support for victims and prevention
The proceeds from the raffle go to victim and trauma counseling centers. Seehaus e. V. employees accompany victims of crime and people who have been traumatized by accidents or losses. The aim is to help victims come to terms with what they have experienced and to support them in their everyday lives.
