Fundraising gala dinner 2025 – Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

OH WHAT A NIGHT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 29, JBA\u2019s annual Fundraising Gala Dinner returned to one of the most spectacular venues in Antwerp: the chapel of Hotel Botanic Sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests at the packed event delighted in an exquisite fusion of haute cuisine from the hand of star-chef Viki Geunes***<\/strong> in combination with the grace and beauty of ballet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another evening to remember and one that was once again skillfully arranged by Inge Heylen<\/strong>, head of administration and sponsorship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heartfelt thank you to all of our generous guests and sponsors! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
