Helping Hands e. V. Urbar Annual Charity Gala. Helping Hands e.V. brings Music, Magic and Community Together for a Cause
There are evenings that are remembered simply because they were entertaining. And then there are evenings that stay with people because they remind them why a community comes together in the first place.
The annual gala of Helping Hands e.V. was one of those evenings. Bringing together leaders, changemakers, friends, families, supporters, and members of the Filipino-German community from across Rheinland Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Hessen and other states in Germany, the celebration transformed the Stadthalle Boppard into a vibrant meeting place of culture, entertainment, friendship, and generosity.
While the organization has made its annual gathering a tradition, this year's celebration carried an especially festive character. Under the leadership of President Gretchen Gipp and the dedicated Helping Hands e.V. members, the evening presented a full program of music, magic, fashion, and live entertainment, while keeping the organization's greater purpose firmly at the heart of the celebration.
