Quadrille Ball

It was such an honor to be invited to the German Consulate to participate in the presentation of the charity cause of the German-American Scholarship Association to the new sponsors and donors. Wearing a beautiful white dress felt absolutely magical and response from the patrons filled my heart with inspiration and joyful anticipation of the 64th Annual Quadrille Ball . Proceeds from the Ball will be funding scholarships for gifted students at U.S. or German universities. Special thank you to the press that attended the ceremony and helped to raise the awareness! https://lnkd.in/eTENazUe https://lnkd.in/eBVqqxC7 https://lnkd.in/ejCafVXc https://lnkd.in/egscKykm https://lnkd.in/eeBrGz4p https://lnkd.in/efVzjDc5

I would like to share information about a wonderful education scholarship charity for which I have been supporting for 15 years. It's called German-American Scholarship Association, or "Quadrille" for short. I am part of the Benefit Council for our annual gala fundraiser which is open to attendance by the general public and welcomes donations and sponsors.??The gala is the 64th?Quadrille Ball scheduled to take place the evening of Saturday, February 8, 2025 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.??Tickets can be purchased at?www.quadrilleball.org?, and donations are accepted there too. ? Over the years I have witnessed how this very worthy cause provides critical funds, in the form of a stipend, to students while also promoting Trans-Atlantic friendship between Germany and the United States.??I have met many of the scholarship recipients and have been impressed by the advanced scientific and technical nature of their studies.??For many students, this important research and advanced study could not happen without this additional financial support.? A New York tradition since 1961 the Ball has supported more than 700 students in their studies abroad.??Quadrille is an all-volunteer organization so donations and net proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the scholarship fund.? Please check out the Website and consider purchasing a ticket to the Quadrille Ball, a very special evening you won't forget.??If you purchase a Patron or Benefactor ticket by November 1, your name will be included in the printed invitations.??In addition to preferred table seating, Patrons and Benefactors (confirmed by January) will be listed in the Ball Journal and invited to a special VIP reception before the ball.??Benefactors will be acknowledged at the Ball during the announcements. I hope to see many of you at the Quadrille Ball!

I've been involved with the Quadrille Ball since 2009.

Thank you, Marlies, we are delighted to support outstanding students like yourself.

Happy International Women's Day from all of us at the Germanistic Society of America. From International Women's Day: "Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity is what makes International Women's Day impactful. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." So make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women." https://lnkd.in/deBSyVW
