*Press release*
*ASMALLWORLD hosted sold-out Winter Weekend in Gstaad; raising CHF 200'000
for Child's i Foundation charity*
*Zurich, 17.12.2018 - Last weekend, ASMALLWORLD welcomed 230 guests from
over 25 countries to the 9th Annual Winter Weekend. This sold-out flagship
event, ASMALLWORLD's most-anticipated social event of the year took place at
the Gstaad Palace in Switzerland, which was exclusively rented for
ASMALLWORLD's guests from December 14th to Sunday, December 17th, 2018.*
_Over 230 guests attended the sold-out Winter Weekend in Gstaad_
Last weekend, more than 230 ASMALLWORLD (ASW) members and guests from all
over the world travelled to the snow-covered Bernese Oberland for the
sold-out ASW Winter Weekend to kick off the winter season. The ASW Winter
Weekend is the longest-running, and most-anticipated flagship event of the
year.
As in previous years, ASW rented the legendary Gstaad Palace, which opened
its doors exclusively for ASMALLWORLD guests, providing the perfect setting
to start the festive season. Due to the high demand for this event,
ASMALLWORLD also rented rooms in the Alpina Gstaad, to accommodate
additional guests.
On Friday night, the theme was 'Je ne regrette rien', which saw the Gstaad
Palace ballroom completely transformed into a salon rouge from 1920s Paris.
Guests travelled back in time, enjoying live music and performances
reminiscent this golden age, including dance performances by French Can Can
dancers and two different French bands.
*ASW raised CHF 200,000 for the Child's i Foundation during the gala dinner*
After basking in the sunshine and savouring local Swiss delicacies during
the Après Ski fondue lunch at the chic Chalet Berghaus Wasserngrat, guests
attended the traditional ASW Foundation Charity Gala dinner on Saturday
evening.
This year ASW supported the Child's i Foundation, a charity which has the
goal that every child in Uganda can grow up in a loving family. Child's i
Foundation's founder, Lucy Buck, attended the event to present her
organisation. In a joint effort between many generous guests and the UBS
Optimus foundation, ASMALLWORLD's partner for this event, made it possible
to raise CHF 200'000 for this noble cause.
ASMALLWORLD CEO Jan Luescher remarked "We are extremely happy about this
amazing weekend. Not only did our guests enjoy our festivities but they also
donated generously to support the Child's i foundation. We are proud that we
can support Lucy Buck's organisation and make a real difference to the lives
of many Ugandan families."
*3rd Annual ASW Summer Weekend in St. Tropez confirmed *
The 3rd edition of the ASW Summer Weekend in St. Tropez has also been
announced. It will take place from the 17th to the 19th of May 2018 at the
Hotel de Paris in St. Tropez. This firmly established flagship event, set in
the stylish French Riviera, was sold-out earlier this year and is expected
to be just as popular in 2019. ASMALLWORLD is looking forward to welcoming
its members and guests for another highly-anticipated annual event that is
not to be missed.
