On Friday, November 29, AmCham Estonia hosted its highly anticipated Thanksgiving Family Dinner and Charity Raffle at the Radisson Hotel Olympia. With over 100 participants gathered, the evening was a perfect celebration of community, gratitude, and giving back.
The festive program opened with heartfelt holiday remarks from AmCham President Dr. Indrek Laul and U.S. Ambassador to Estonia George P. Kent, setting a warm and cheerful tone. Guests were treated to live music from the PayBack band, adding to the lively atmosphere. Families were spoiled for choice with entertainment options, including a special program for children, face painting, and the opportunity to capture the moment with professional family portraits.
A highlight of the evening was the Thanksgiving feast itself—a mouthwatering spread featuring all the holiday favorites, lovingly prepared by the Radisson Hotel Olympia’s culinary team.
The Charity Raffle added an extra layer of excitement for both adults and children. Congratulations to all the winners, especially Jan Nikitin from UPS, who took home the Grand Prize sponsored by the Olympic Entertainment Group.
Most importantly, the event raised an impressive €4,100 for the Warmth of Hearts Foundation, demonstrating the power of collective generosity.
