On the occasion of the ballet benefit gala on 29 November 2014, donations totalling € 1,060,000.00 were received, including€ 950,000.00 from Munich-based entrepreneur Mrs Evi Brandl. These donations helped with the creation of a new “Heart for Heart Children’s Heart Unit” at Ho Chi Minh City University Hospital, giving the gift of life to poor children with heart conditions from the Highlands around Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. This children’s heart unit was opened in autumn 2015 with a new cardiac catheterisation lab and a portable Philips ultrasound machine.
