Rust, Germany – 25/03/2026

ELAUT is proud to announce a donation of €33,000 to the Mack Foundation, supporting the charitable initiatives Santa Isabel e.V. and Einfach Helfen e.V. The funds were raised through an ELAUT claw machine, themed in the Europa-Park 50 Years branding, installed at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany.

The Europa-Park 50 years existence themed claw machine generated the donation amount over an eight-month period, from May 2025 to January 2026. The donation supports the missions of Santa Isabel e.V., founded by Marianne Mack, and Einfach Helfen e.V., chaired by Mauritia Mack. Both charities are dedicated to helping children and families who suddenly face hardship due to serious illness or unexpected life events, providing fast and compassionate assistance when it is needed most.

The initiative demonstrates how amusement machines, when thoughtfully operated and placed in the right environment, can create meaningful entertainment while also contributing to social causes. “Europa-Park has been a valued partner for many years, the family Mack and the family Verstraeten both share the same values. We both love to work hard, to create great experiences of joy;  but we also feel a great level of responsibility towards the society and in particular families and children as they are the foundation of our society. We are proud that our machines can contribute to initiatives that make a real difference,” said Eric Verstraeten, CEO of the ELAUT Group.

ELAUT extends its gratitude to Europa-Park and the Mack Family for their partnership and looks forward to continuing initiatives that combine entertainment, innovation, and social responsibility.
