Premiere at the Vienna City Hall: 554,000 Euros Collected at Charity Gala for Children with Cancer

The event was organized by the "Ambassador Circle" of the research institution, consisting of entrepreneur and former tennis professional Dominic Thiem, Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth, JP Immobilien owner Daniel Jelitzka, and Raiffeisen General Michael Höllerer.

The initiators emphasized the significance of the evening in a joint statement: "Every child deserves a fair chance at life. This gala was far more than a social event – we want to give hope, move hearts, and change lives." A continuation of the initiative is planned for the coming years.

Caroline Hutter, head of the St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute, spoke of a significant boost for scientific work: "The evening gives our patients hope for new, effective therapeutic approaches."
