"It was a really great event, we enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for choosing Piros Orr as the charity partner and for the donation of HUF 333,000. The Xpat-party-people were all very nice. We think everything was perfect: the location, the food, the wine, the music, the tombola, everything.

We hope you had the same experience on the night with our clowndoctors, that they could bring additional fun into the event. Thank you so much and we are looking forward to the next event with you."
Ágnes Rékay, MD, Piros Orr Bohócdoktorok Alapítvány (Red Nose Clowndoctors Foundation).

"Those clown doctors are so great, I really enjoyed attending your party and supporting sick children in Hungary with lots of smiles"

“A brilliant party, and a fantastic way to celebrate Xpatloop's birthday. Wonderful that you were so well supported by your Partners - the Marriott certainly excelled themselves - and, best of all, the super donation you raised for the Red Nose Children's charity as a result. Making sure that sick children, across Hungary, still have the opportunity to smile. What a delightful way to say "Happy Birthday!"
Alan Rees

"The food from the Marriott Peppers! Grill was excellent, especially the selection of cheeses and the ravioli stuffed with pumpkin. Xpatloop.com also arranged a huge number of sponsors for raffle prizes. The evening was very pleasant, with a good mix of people, excellent networking opportunities, and it all went to a good cause. It was even worth ironing a shirt for."

I am also over the moon that the event was supported in such a good way, and that a new record was achieved in the funds raised.

The organisation of the event at the Marriott’s Peppers! restaurant was super, and all credit goes to XpatLoop for getting such a great turnout. On behalf of FirstMed, I’d like to thank XpatLoop for organizing this fine event. Let’s hope there will be another opportunity to celebrate all together!"
