Home » 130th Anniversary Charity Gala

Our 130th Anniversary Charity Gala on Saturday, September 21st, 2024 at Bridge Studios (131 Seestrasse, 13353 Berlin)  was an extraordinary success, with a full house of members and guests, full of heart, generosity and community. We were treated to a fabulous array of entertainment with chamber music from Accordo!, beautiful arias from Jennifer Evans, a poignant and funny reading from AWC member Dina Honour and fabulous dancing with DJ Shelly Shel. Our Silent Auction raised over €4,200 for our good cause, the ReDI School Kids Program. BIG thank you to the generous donors and bidders. The night was filled with a vibrant mix of fun, laughter, and celebration, as we shared in the joy of our club’s milestone birthday.

The BRIDGE Studios Berlin provide a fantastic framework for photo shoots, film productions, meetings and events in context of art and culture. The over 7000 m² location area with the amazing daylight studios, is located right at the waterfront, on a quiet and safe peninsula. History: The Bridge maintenance centre built 1978-1980 on the Lake Street Island in Moabit by architect Rainer G.Rümmler, opened in 1980 and served as assessment and maintenance centre for numerous construction projects, including 490 bridges on shore and waterborne. Viewed from the Spennrath bridge the building on the Lake Street Island was constructed to look like a ships hull.
