‘Incredible India’ Fundraiser full success

Hey everyone. Wiebke here. My birthday + welfare party turned fundraiser was the most fun birthday, I've ever celebrated. The small organic/vegan cafe and co-working venue Yorck52 was bursting at times and brimming with the energy of the diverse crowd til 4am. The fleamarket items disappeared at a steady rate, the lottery yielded some 60 EUR, badges with our new logo brought in 18 EUR and the auction raised 313 EUR.

At the end of the night there were 560,50 EUR in cash alone, around 300 € were already contributed via betterplace, some more contributions are expected in the next few days.

Thanks to all of you for a night not to be forgotten, 12 hours that I will remember if and when inclined to give up. A heartfelt, very special thanks goes to (in no particular order)

• Birthe and Simon from Yorck52 for the venue as well as the sponsoring of a brunch for 2 and a 5-days co-working membership


• Miriam Notowicz for decorating, preparing the lottery and running the auction as well as for her donated illustration of Mimi on the chili


• DJ Jens Hildebrandt aka Jens Brown (www.cassettes-delight.de) for putting on the music and making us move our hips


• Dominik Hofstetter aka Domingo for his incredible patience and even more incredible cooking


• Joachim Klöckner (www.joachim-klöckner.de) for his sponsored coaching sessions (still available until the end of Oct. btw)


• Frank from Plattie-nie.de for his bicycle repairs


• Mehmet Ballikaya for the sponsored tango lessons


• Francisca Drechsler for her fantastic note book 'Persönliches. Ein Notizbuch'


• ‎Oodie for the super cool TGHF badges


• and last but so not least Goldene Zeiten Berlin for getting the awesome new logo and website ready in time for the party!!!


• all the wonderful co-cooks and bakers, the gifts for the fleamarket and the auction

I sincerely hope I haven't forgotten anyone or anything but I am deeply moved by the support from near and far and am once more convinced that this initiative is worth my while. But more than anything else I realised what fantastic friends I have!!
