Attending the McDonald’s Kinderhilfe Stiftung Charity Gala in Munich with my wife, Katarina, was a truly unforgettable experience. The event, held at the stunning Eisbach Studios, was a powerful reminder of how impactful our collective support can be in changing lives. Every year, this gala raises crucial funds for the Ronald McDonald Houses, which provide homes near hospitals for families with seriously ill children. This year was no exception, with a record-breaking €1,482,785 raised to support these families in need.

The evening was hosted by the incredibly talented duo, Thore Schoelermann and Jana Ina Zarrella, who guided the event with grace and warmth. It was inspiring to see so many familiar faces and new friends, all coming together for a cause that means so much to so many. The energy in the room was electric, as guests shared stories, celebrated milestones, and contributed generously to the auction. Celebrities like Robert and Carmen Geiss were also in attendance, adding their support to the evening’s mission to make a difference for families in need. Katarina and I were deeply moved by the heartfelt speeches and the genuine sense of community present throughout the night.

I’m thrilled to share that we secured something very special during the auction — an experience that has a unique connection to LCX and is for our community.
While I can’t reveal the details just yet, I can promise that 2025 will hold a fantastic surprise for our LCX community.

Katarina and I are honored to have been part of this magical evening. A huge thank you to everyone involved in organizing the gala and to all those who gave so generously. Your kindness will make a real difference.
