We heard some rumors about the two of you working together somehow. Is that true? Please tell us more about it!

Heather: Erich saw Social Fabric’s crowdfunding campaign on Facebook through our mutual Impact Hub friend and Hubonaut Flurin Conradin (from Stadtmilch), who was wearing one of our T-shirts. So Erich approached me to find out how we could work together, because he had the idea of supporting refugees through Balboa and of course also because of the T-shirts. As he was in need of promotional gear for the Balboa gym anyways, he wanted to see whether there was an opportunity for working on something together.

Erich: For a while now, we at Balboa we were looking into how to work with refugees. We wanted to take action and find out how to include them in the community or in the gym with workouts. But we wanted it to be something concrete and very close to us. So when I saw Flurin’s post and read about the Social Fabric project that was happening in Zürich, I knew it was something to look into. And as it was a project born at the Impact Hub Zurich it was very tangible. And we just kind of knew it has to be good.
