Kiel - Consist Software Solutions is supporting the 2nd benefit cup "UKSH setzt Segel gegen Krebs". The Kiel-based IT company is providing its own team for the benefit regatta on September 20, 2015. The regatta is a triangular course off the Schilksee coast. This special cup is being organized by the UKSH's (University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein) Freunde- und Förderverein for the promotion of sport and exercise therapy at the Comprehensive Cancer Center North. On top of the starting fee for regatta participants, Consist is also supporting this good cause by making an additional voluntary donation.
