On July 1, one of Southern Styria's top resorts, Golden Hill Country Chalets & Suites, basked in the glow of a good cause, thanks to the noble charity event "Cooks cook for children" on behalf of SOS Children's Village. Amid the breathtaking ambience of Golden Hill, around 120 guests were able to taste the creations of culinary icons such as Didi Dorner, Didi Maier, Robert Letz, Marco Simonis and Jürgen Vigne. Excellent weather as well as dedicated and motivated people made the evening a great success for children in need.
The hosts at Golden Hill, owners Barbara and Andreas Reinisch, were overwhelmed: "This exceptional event was an exciting premiere for us! We are delighted that so many people were here today to join forces for a good cause. It was really important for us to be able to give as many children as possible a few golden moments. And we are extremely grateful and happy that a proud total of € 38,300 was raised today."
