About Heldenzirkus Foundation
The Heldenzirkus Foundation is the official charity initiative of Austrian Schlager artist Melissa Naschenweng.
Born from Melissa’s deep desire to give something back to society, Heldenzirkus (Heroes Circus) was created to bring joy, hope, and tangible support to children who face particularly difficult challenges in life. The name “Heldenzirkus” stands for the courage and strength of these children — our little heroes — and the colorful, uplifting energy Melissa wants to bring into their everyday lives.
Our Mission
We support children with disabilities (especially those with heart conditions, physical or mental impairments) and children fighting cancer*, together with their families.
Our goal is to give these children moments of joy, lightness, and normality, while providing practical help and relief to their loved ones. We believe every child deserves to experience happiness, recognition, and hope — no matter how hard their circumstances may be.
What We Do
- Wish fulfillments and joyful experiences for seriously ill children
- Funding for medical aids, therapies, and adaptive equipment
- Family relief programs (financial and emotional support)
- Benefit concerts and charity events
- Awareness campaigns for children’s rights and needs
All donations and proceeds are used transparently and 100% for the benefit of the children and their families.
“Every child is a hero — and every hero deserves a circus full of love, laughter, and hope.”
— Melissa Naschenweng
