Thank you for this wonderful birthday party!

Translated by Laura Steeghs

Together with our supporters, many climate protection enthusiasts, friends and the betahaus community, we celebrated our 5th anniversary. It was a truly enjoyable summer party with great people, good conversation, lots of laughter and delicious treats!

To kick things off, our founder Ruth von Heusinger shared the story of how ForTomorrow was founded and gave us an insight into the past five years of ForTomorrow’s existence. Some of the material was very moving, some very personal, and all of it was inspiring. In a relaxed atmosphere, we talked about climate protection, sustainability, and everything that matters to us and to you.

To refresh us, there was delicious vegan ice cream from Paletas (link in German), which not only delighted our young guests. We toasted with Sekko Soziale (link in German) and the eco-friendly wine from ZUKUNFTSWEINE (link in German) not only complemented ForTomorrow’s goals, but also paired perfectly with the tasty vegan buffet. And of course, a birthday cake was also a must.

Thank you to everyone who was there with us and to betahaus for providing a space to grow and celebrate. We would especially like to thank Dante Busquets, who volunteered his time to capture many wonderful moments of the evening, and Jonathan Goudefroy, who also sent us photos.

The party has reenergised and motivated us to continue working with passion and enthusiasm for the next five years to ensure a future worth living. We are already looking forward to our next event, with many familiar and new faces from our wonderful ForTomorrow community.
