Around 150 guests from the worlds of business, politics, art and culture are invited to an exclusive dinner in the ballroom of the Titanic Hotel Gendarmenmarkt. Part of the evening's program is an auction of works by well-known artists, memorabilia and priceless experiences for the benefit of the foundation.

German Stroke Foundation

The German Stroke Foundation was founded in 1993 by entrepreneur and benefactor Liz Mohn. With around 270,000 people affected each year, stroke is the third most common cause of death in Germany and the most common cause of disability in adulthood. The aim of the foundation is to raise awareness, prevent strokes, improve care and help those affected.
