The Dutch alternative investments community has raised EUR18,000 from a lottery and auction in aid of the Alternatives4Children charity foundation at its fifth annual Black Tie Dinner. This takes the total raised this year on behalf of the charity to EUR110,000 (net of costs).
The event at Amsterdam’s Sofitel Legend The Grand Hotel saw over 140 industry professionals show their support for the foundation through sponsorship, a lottery and a charity auction.
Marc de Kloe (pictured) Co-founder of A4C and managing director at Adamas Asset Management, says: “This annual event is a great opportunity to bring together members of the Dutch alternative financial industry who can network and at the same time raise funds for a shared objective. By buying a ticket and participating in our lottery and auction – where great prizes can be won – the industry shows it can be a force for good in the world. The management team and the volunteers of A4C are very thankful to all the donors for being so generous.”
The funds raised allow A4C to financially contribute to smaller charity projects around the world, which are all focused on children’s education. Seven projects are currently supported by A4C including: Edelweiss School in Bangalore (India), Reckoning in The Netherlands, Kamitei in Tanzania, Tiny Miracles in Mumbai (India), Kanaka in Ghana, Macheo in Kenya and Kuychi/Ninos del Arco Iris in Peru.
The next event organised by Alternatives4Children will be Legends 4 Legends in Q1 2016 at the Amsterdam EYE Film Museum. This is going to be a unique investment event bringing together the leading investment legends of today and tomorrow with the aim of building a legend for children. Tickets will be available soon via the A4C website.
