5 th PROPERTY INDUSTRY BALL IN PARK HYATT<br />

On 4th November the Zurich property sector is meeting up on the<br />

dance floor for the 5th time in succession for a good cause. This<br />

year the event location is again the renowned Park Hyatt Hotel.<br />

The thrilling ball night has become an integral part of the autumn<br />

gala season in Zurich. Contacts are made and everyone<br />

can dance to their heart’s content. The main objective, however,<br />

is to raise donations for a child aid project in India. There is great<br />

anticipation about this year’s ball in particular. Tickets are now<br />

available.<br />

The kidz planet association, founded in 2010, supports children<br />

and adolescents in the area of education to give them a chance<br />

to take care of themselves and to attain a decent standard of<br />

living for themselves and their families. Over 160 children have<br />

been provided with regular school tuition since the construction<br />

of a primary school near Calcutta in 2010.<br />

Thomas Denzler is the patron of the charity event, which has been<br />

hosted successfully for 4 years. He travels regularly to India and<br />

personally ensures that the donations are used to help. He knows<br />

the name of every pupil in the primary school and has been following<br />

the progress of the aid project since its foundation.<br />

In addition to the charity projects, Thomas Denzler is the owner<br />

of the Zurich property companies Züri Immo AG and Eicher Generalunternehmung<br />

AG.<br />

Additional funds are accumulated from an auction, conducted<br />

by Berthold Müller (Christie’s Switzerland), of pictures painted by<br />

pupils from the kidz planet school. Past experience shows that<br />

the bids come flooding in and those, who are successful, can take<br />

the children’s colourful pictures home with them. Every year a<br />

picture from a Swiss artist is also up for bidding. Last year a sculpture<br />

from H.R. Giger was auctioned to raise a substantial sum.
