The GC Rieber Foundations support people of all ages who require additional attention," Paul-Christian Rieber, GC Rieber CEO, said in a press release. "From 2022 on, it is fair to say that nearly every second dollar earned by GC Rieber will be distributed to the social projects supported by GC Rieber Foundations."
