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, taking the counter to almost €12,000!
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: Kooi Camerabewaking, SalesFeed and Van de Dronk Security Group.
Kooi Camerabewaking is the specialist in temporary camera security, object surveillance and greenhouse detection for construction sites, industrial sites and other high-risk locations. With more than 300 employees, Kooi operates in 22 European countries and has its own branches in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Denmark, Austria and Spain. The company offers innovative solutions such as the Unit For Observation (UFO), a mobile camera system that monitors construction projects and energy parks 24/7, and the Rising Early Detection (RED), a system that uses smart AI technology to detect scalding and fire early in sectors such as recycling, (chemical) manufacturing and warehousing.
Kooi onderscheidt zich door een combinatie van deskundigheid, een no-nonsense mentaliteit en persoonlijke benadering, wat heeft geleid tot de beveiliging van meer dan 36.000 locaties en het voorkomen van ruim 13.000 gevallen van diefstal en schade in Europa.
But why does Cage sponsor initiatives like this? ‘At Kooi, we believe in supporting initiatives that make a positive impact. Alpe d’HuZes is a special event where people dedicate themselves to cancer research, a disease that affects many of us directly or indirectly. Team VAIBS is committed to this cause with passion and perseverance, and we are proud to support them in doing so.’
At Kooi, social commitment is additionally one of the core values: ‘As a company, we think it is important not only to be active in business, but also to contribute to social causes. Cancer research and the fight against this disease are of great importance, and by supporting initiatives like Alpe d’HuZes, we hope to contribute to a future. We therefore wish team VAIBS every success and strength in this wonderful challenge. Keep going, because every step up brings us closer to a world where cancer no longer has to be a deadly disease!’

Wilfred Handgraaf, Director at SalesFeed: ‘We support VAIBS because we believe in their commitment and the purpose of Alpe d’HuZes. Cancer affects everyone, directly or indirectly, and every contribution helps to make research and support possible. As a company, we not only want to grow in business, but also mean something to society. We are happy to contribute to a good cause. Your commitment is great. Enjoy the challenge and togetherness.

When asked why Van der Donk sponsors a fine contribution, General Manager Bert van der Donk gave an impressive answer: ‘At Van der Donk Security Group, we have experienced up close what this disease does to people. Several colleagues within our company have had to deal with it and recently we even lost a beloved colleague. This makes it an important and personal initiative for us to support. Cancer remains a profound disease that affects many, both privately and in the workplace. We feel it is essential to do our bit to support research and support patients and their families. By supporting initiatives like Alpe d’HuZes, we hope to contribute to a future in which this disease can be better treated and hopefully cured. We have enormous respect for your efforts and think it is fantastic that you are doing this. We wish you the best of luck! Get going!
