Charity Evening to Benefit the Association for Children with Rare Diseases (KMSK)
On Friday, October 30, 2026, the autobau erlebniswelt will open its doors for a special evening full of excitement, connections, and engagement.
“I’ve been very lucky in my life, and now the time has come to give something back,” said Fredy Lienhard, entrepreneur and founder of autobau erlebniswelt, explaining his motivation for hosting the second charity event at the historic event venue in 2018. All proceeds from the auction this time will benefit the Association for Children with Rare Diseases (KMSK).
About the KMSK Association
For many years, the KMSK association has been supporting families with children affected by rare diseases. These families often face significant emotional, organizational, and financial challenges. KMSK offers them support, raises awareness of rare diseases, and provides much-needed respite—from immediate financial assistance to family events that offer strength and a sense of community. With every donation and every act of participation, we help give these children and their families a sense of normalcy and hope.
An Evening Full of Highlights
Charity Auction
Look forward to a diverse auction featuring exclusive memorabilia, special products, one-of-a-kind experience vouchers—and, as the highlight, even a car: a BYD. Every bid directly supports the work of the KMSK association. Among other prizes, we're auctioning off a BYD Dolphin Surf as the grand prize!
Musical accompaniment
Brina Music sets the right mood with their rousing boogie-woogie. Their energetic music creates an atmosphere that brings people together and inspires them.
Moving Insights
An interview with a family affected by a rare disease offers an authentic glimpse into daily life with the condition—moving, honest, and important.
Culinary Delights
There will be plenty of good food and drink as well: Look forward to a delicious three-course meal from the kitchen of SBS Schifffahrt AG and fine wines on tap to round out the evening.
Making a Big Difference Together
This evening is all about solidarity. By attending, you’re not only supporting an important organization, but also giving affected children and their families the opportunity to pay for therapy or similar services.
We look forward to welcoming you to the autobau erlebniswelt on October 30, 2026 —for an evening that inspires, brings people together, and makes a lasting positive impact.
