In February, the Austrian Embassy in Beijing organized and hosted their
5th annual Charity Ski Race. Special guests
included the Vice Mayor of Olympic candidate Zhangjiakou Mr. Zhou Limin,
Austrian Ambassador Dr. Irene Giner-Reichl and several colleagues from other
European embassies, as well as high-ranking managers of Chinese ski resort
developers and operators. The embassy had a record year, with over 550
participants, 118 racers from 14 countries, and nearly 600,000 RMB raised!
This year, Little Flower was lucky to have been their benefitting
charity. Recently, they held a Garden Party and Handover Ceremony to celebrate
the donation of all proceeds to Little Flower.
It was a great night, with Little Flower's founder, Brent Johnson, in
attendance. The man behind the Austrian Charity Ski Race, Dr. Oskar Andesner,
presented the donation.
He created the very first ski race event in 2010, and it has grown
larger every single year. This year is actually his last year organizing the
event, and we just wanted to express our appreciation for all the work that he
and his team have put into the ski race each year. Three cheers for the
Austrian Embassy!
