VriendenLoterij ambassadors

VriendenLoterij has a strong team of well-known and socially and culturally engaged ambassadors. They represent the lottery and help raise awareness of the important work of its beneficiaries.

Irene Moors

TV presenter

“Just like the lottery, I think it’s very important that people with disabilities should not face any barriers to participating fully in society.”

Gerard Joling

Singer and TV presenter

"Lottery players support clubs and associations that are committed to health and well-being. Being and staying healthy, and enjoying the company of friends and family, are the most important things in life.”

Wolter Kroes

Singer

"VriendenLoterij was able to support millions of charities, thanks to its players. Like the MS Research Foundation, for example, where I’m the ambassador for children with MS. It’s great to give something back to our players and the charities!”

Jan Versteegh

TV presenter

​"VriendenLoterij players make a lot of great things possible. With their participation, they can choose which cause they support. It's just amazing that I can also surprise people with fantastic prizes."

Chantal Janzen

TV presenter and actress

“It's really important to visit museums. VriendenLoterij organises a lot of activities to help bring people closer to culture in an accessible way.”

Robert ten Brink

TV presenter

“I regularly visit a museum or theatre. It makes life a bit nicer. VriendenLoterij wants as many people as possible to celebrate culture and I’m more than ready to support that idea.”

Leontine Ruiters

TV presenter

“VriendenLoterij wants to bring culture closer to the public - from museums to musicals and from windmills to concerts. I think it’s great that I can contribute to this.”

Ilse DeLange

Singer

“Preserving culture is so important. As a child, I regularly went to museums and found them impressive. I hope to make people even more enthusiastic by performing in unusual cultural venues, such as museums.”

Albert Verlinde

TV presenter and theatre producer

"Culture runs through my veins; it makes my heart beat faster. Because art and culture are increasingly subject to economic cutbacks, I’m glad to help make VriendenLoterij and its cultural partners even better known."

Jamai Loman

TV presenter and musical artist
​
"It's great to be an ambassador for VriendenLoterij: I like to be able to surprise so many people with a nice cheque!"
