Held for over 20 years, the annual Damenwiesn meeting offers a lunch and space for networking for guests.

“It is a great gift to be able to meet so many friends and business partners from all over the world in this wonderful setting and exchange ideas with each other,” said Sixt. “It has always been my heart’s desire to put our meeting at the service of a good cause and to support the smallest and weakest members of our society. We all have a duty to help where people are not as well off as we are.”

Currently, the Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation has expanded its work to more than 175 aid projects in the areas of education, health care, and emergency aid in more than 50 countries.
