Ecole d'Humanité Benefit Gala & Auction "80 Years Rooted in Goldern", Friday 3 July, 2026, Hasliberg Kongresshall
A highlight of the Ecole d’Humanité’s 80th anniversary year in Goldern, this Benefit Gala brings together our beautiful setting, exquisite dining and performances by Ecolianers—and, importantly, you—to honor eight decades of the Ecole’s spirit and legacy on the Hasliberg.
By spending an exciting evening among friends of the Ecole, you will also be supporting what matters most: scholarships to help ensure that new generations of young people, regardless of their financial circumstances, can experience the life changing education and community that define the Ecole d’Humanité. The main portion of your ticket will go directly to the scholarship funds of the Stiftung Ecole d’Humanité and the US Edith Geheeb Cassirer Foundation in support of future Ecolianers."
Highlights
An elegant meal with the theme “Leaf to Roots” prepared by gourmet chef Moritz Stiefel and exquisite wine from vineyards cultivated by alumni.
A silent and live auction will be held during the gala. All donations are generously matched 1:1 by an anonymous donor up to CHF 35,000, contributing to our goal of raising the equivalent of a full tuition of CHF 70,000.
