Huge Success at our “Gipfeltreffen”

“This is absolutely incredible, a dream come true.” Anita Gerhardter was visibly emotional when she and Heinz Kinigadner announced the record-shattering fundraising total of 522,550 Euros at our annual charity dinner, “Gipfeltreffen”. The generous guests came together at Schloss Gabelhofen in Styria, placed their bids in the auction, and celebrated a truly unforgettable evening.

Success stories on the Green

Joe Delagrave sinks a putt at the Wings for Life Golf Classic in Louisville, Kentucky while Aaron Colton, Gunnar Sterne, and Aaron Baker cheer him on. Joe is one of three incredible honorees on the USA golf tour, which includes two additional stops in Carlsbad and Savannah. Live auctions and generous sponsors raised more than $900,000 among the events for spinal cord research.

Intuition and Focus

The annual “Clay Day,” a beautiful day of hunting clay pigeons with the historic Hedsor House near London as a backdrop, was once again a resounding success. The guests raised funds for Wings for Life while spending an exciting afternoon with celebrity hosts Christian Horner and David Coulthard, resulting in £171,000 for spinal cord research!

Rev it Up at the Red Bull Ring

The hills around the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg were rocked by the Challenge & GT Days. First by the showdown of the participating historic sports cars, later in the evening by the amount of funds raised during the charity auction. The guests donated a whopping 84,833 Euros to Wings for Life.

Charitable Gaming

David Hunt’s career as a snowboarder was abruptly interrupted by an accident in which he sustained a spinal cord injury. During his recovery, he discovered online gaming and streaming via Twitch. Today, he goes by the gamer name GrandPOOBear and is a successful streamer. He’s already held several streaming events to support the Foundation, having raised nearly $100,000. During his last streaming event entitled “Christmas in July,” David raised more than $21,000 for Wings for Life.
