Already more than €11,000! Meet our Alpe d’HuZes sponsors

On 5 June 2025, team VAIBS will participate in Alpe d’HuZes 2025. On that day, we, Henk-Jan, Jos and Niek, will climb the Alpe d’Huez as many times as possible. The goal? To raise as much money as possible for cancer research. Meanwhile, we have already received a nice number of donations, bringing the counter to over €11,000!

Any amount, big or small helps us get closer to our goal. We are therefore enormously grateful to all donors! However, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few donors who give us that extra push. Today: Thermal Comfort Systems, Royal Look and COSMETIZE.

Thermal Comfort Systems – Tailor-made sustainable climate solutions

Wezep-based Thermal Comfort Systems (TCS) is the specialist in energy-efficient heating and cooling with low-temperature heating. With years of experience and smart solutions, TCS delivers customised solutions from advice to realisation. The best climate solution is always determined in consultation with the customer, after which the Wezep-based company takes care of the entire process: from planning and drawing to project supervision and installation. Quality and comfort always come first. TCS only uses high-quality materials in its projects, consisting of A-brands of European manufacture. This makes Thermal Comfort Systems the reliable link in climate control.

‘We want to show that we care about averyone”

When TCS was asked if they could do something in sponsorship for Alpe d’HuZes, the company did not hesitate for a moment. Richard Kuiper, Project Manager at TCS: ‘Alpe d’HuZes is a wonderful event that raises a lot of money for charity every year. People often participate not for themselves, but for the family and friends around them who are suffering or have suffered a lot. The more money raised, the better the treatments and medicines will become. As a company, we think it is important to support initiatives like this, to show that we care about everyone. Put it on Team VAIBS! Enjoy this week, with a smile and a tear!’

Royal Look – The online fabric shop for quality and style

The second sponsor we would like to introduce today is Roual Look. Royal Look has been a household name in the fabric world for more than 30 years. This Dutch webshop offers a wide range of basic fabrics, fashion fabrics, children’s fabrics, interior fabrics, party fabrics and ready-to-wear fabrics. Thanks to direct purchase and continuous stock renewal, Royal Look guarantees the best quality at competitive and fair prices, with fast delivery.

Customer satisfaction is key. Based on feedback, the product range is continuously improved and expanded. Besides the online shop, Royal Look can be found at all Stoffencircus markets in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and every Saturday at the weekly market in Rotterdam-Centrum.

‘For a valuable cause’

Royal Look is also a proud sponsor of team VAIBS. Rick Groeneveld, Business Manager at Royal Look, revealed why he wants to sponsor VAIBS during Alpe d’HuZes: ‘It touches us as a company to be able to contribute to a better future by supporting scientific research and giving people affected by the disease a helping hand. On behalf of the entire Royal Look team, we would like to wish team VAIBS the best of luck with their participation. Your perseverance and dedication are admirable, and we hope you reach the top, both literally and figuratively. We are behind you and proud to contribute a small part to this wonderful cause!’

COSMETIZE: sustainable beauty with impact

The third sponsor in this round of introductions is COSMETIZE. COSMETIZE is the developer and manufacturer of high-quality private label cosmetics products. With a passion for cosmetics, the team creates unique products in make-up, skin care, hair care and more. What COSMETIZE sets apart is their commitment to quality, sustainability and ethics.

MUZE Skincare – Accessible and effective skin rejuvenation

Besides developing private label products, COSMETIZE also launched its own brand: MUZE Skincare. MUZE makes professional skincare and skin rejuvenation accessible to everyone. MUZE focuses on improving skin texture, reducing fine lines and restoring skin’s natural glow. The products are carefully developed with natural and potent ingredients, free from unnecessary additives such as microplastics and silicones. MUZE combines innovation, effectiveness and accessibility in one brand.

‘Initiatives that make real impact’

We spoke to project manager Liesbeth Kleermaker about the motivation behind the sponsorship: ‘We greatly admire the effort of team VAIBS and are happy to contribute to their mission to raise money for cancer research. At Cosmetize, we find it important to support initiatives that really make an impact. Alpe d’HuZes is such an initiative that inspires people and makes a real difference, and we are happy to contribute. We also hope to motivate others to do the same and get involved in important causes.Team VAIBS, what a challenge you have taken on! We are extremely proud of your commitment and perseverance. Keep remembering that every step you take makes a difference. Get it on – we are behind you!
