This was our Shanghai Legends Gala!
1 gala, 3 chairmen, 13 stories, 150 guests, 600 dishes served, ...
This year, we celebrated and highlighted "Shanghai Legends". Over the past few months, our team conducted research and interviewed characters on stories that bind China and the Benelux region - stories that bind us. This whole concept was brought to life on November 23rd, where we received more than 150 guests on our annual gala, with two special guests Erik Versavel and Peter Buytaert, whom both served as Chairman during important times in the past decades.
Not only did we highlight past Legends, but we also zoomed in on Legends who need our support today. As for our Charity, we supported Shanghai Yixin Public Welfare Development Centre, which is a non-profit organizations who provide cost-free trainings for teenagers with intellectual disabilities, including autism, to help them integrate into society. With the special support of Juneyao Airlines Co., Ltd. and Scabal, we were able to raise 24.000 RMB for this charity!
With the support of our Gala Sponsors GONVVAMA and DaWo Law Firm Shanghai, the support of the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Belgium in Shanghai, the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Shanghai and the Consulate General of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Shanghai, we were able to bring these stories to life, as well as create new stories.
