Fundraising campaigns in May 2025
House concert at Niggi & Bernadette Thurnherr's
House concert on May 8
On May 3 and 4, a particularly beautiful house concert took place at the home of Niggi and Bernadette Thurnherr, which was both musical and convivial. Throughout the weekend, guests were treated to the enchanting sounds of the talented Myriam Hidber-Dickinson on the flute and the impressive Marlen Anderson on the harp. The talents of the two musicians created an atmospheric ambiance and invited guests to immerse themselves in the world of music.
Another highlight of the weekend was the exquisite aperitif, which not only delighted the palate but also encouraged conviviality among the guests. The culinary delicacies harmoniously rounded off the musical experience and created a setting that emphasized exchange and togetherness.
Special thanks go to our generous donors and guests, who have made a valuable contribution to our foundation with their donations. Your support is extremely important to us and enables us to continue implementing our project in Reinach, Basel-Landschaft.
Overall, the house concert was an inspiring and fulfilling occasion that stimulated the senses and strengthened the community. We would like to thank Niggi & Bernadette for their hospitality and everyone involved for their valuable contribution to this special event. It was an unforgettable experience that enriched everyone present.
Motorcycle blessing in Nunnigen 2025
The motorcycle blessing on Sunday, May 19, 2025
After a short break, the next fundraising event was already upon us, giving us the opportunity to be represented in person with a stand. For the third time, generous donations were collected for us on the occasion of the 30th motorcycle blessing by the Schwarzbueb motorcycle club and Pastor Alexander Pasalidi.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the bikers, whose generosity touched us deeply. We would also like to give special praise to the organizers, especially Agi and Stefan Hänggi, as well as the president of the Schwarzbueb motorcycle club. Thanks to their tireless efforts, the event was a complete success.
Particularly noteworthy was the refreshing and cheerful mass celebrated by Father Alexander Pasalidi, which contributed significantly to the positive atmosphere. We were also delighted and motivated by the inspiring conversations at our stand. We would therefore like to express our heartfelt thanks for the many donations that support our work.
A big thank you also goes to everyone who wanted to support us with their craftsmanship in renovating the Ponyhof Reinach BL. Your offers and ideas were extremely valuable, and the discussions at the stand inspired us and helped us move forward.
Overall, it was a successful event, and we look forward to future encounters. Many thanks to everyone who contributed! ProTerapia Foundation
Hurray! We did it! 2025
The foundation's purchase of the pony farm is secured!
We are delighted to announce that the funds for the purchase of the pony farm have been successfully secured. This is a decisive step for our foundation and our vision of creating a place for people to meet and receive therapy.
While there is unfortunately only limited space available around the pony farm, we are actively negotiating with various farmers and authorities to secure sufficient grazing land for our horses. We are optimistic that we will soon be able to lease a suitable pasture on the Bruderholz, which will benefit our animals and our therapy services.
Our important project is also coming to fruition: the "differentia" therapy center will begin its work in Reinach. This means we are not only giving the pony farm a new home, but also an important social institution.
Together, we create space for therapy and relaxation.
Thank you very much for your generous donations to our project – Zentrum differentia.
