Erik Altenhofen (Director European Supply Management-Field Operations Hilton Worldwide) and myself (Sven Beissel, General Manager Hilton Cologne) competed against Andreas Ballon and Klaus Klische (both directors of Fresh Factory Company) in a pineapple peeling and slicing contest. Overall we peeled 5 tons of pineapples and were also able to donate another 2.5 tons for homeless people directly on the spot.

We now ask you to donate for every kilo we peeled at least € 5 to reach our target of € 2,500. The collected money will be donated to our charity partner “Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder e.V. Köln” - a charity foundation which supports children with cancer to make their life more enjoyable. www.krebskrankekinder-koeln.de

Thank you for your support and generous donations!
