Beyond Capital Partners is once again supporting the Children’s Home Competition as a Charity Sponsor as part of the International Festhalle Riding Tournament Frankfurt 2024

December 2024
Frankfurt am Main

The 51st International Festhalle Riding Tournament Frankfurt (IFRF) will take place in Frankfurt am Main from December 18th to 22nd, 2024. The IFRF is one of the largest and most traditional horse shows in Germany, bringing together people from all over the world while retaining a very familiar atmosphere. The Linsenhoff family has been actively involved in organizing the event since 2003 and has developed it into an international equestrian meeting place. Every year shortly before Christmas, equestrian fans and the stars of the world’s elite meet in show jumping and dressage competitions in the Festhalle in Frankfurt am Main.

Beyond Capital Partners is once again one of the official sponsors of this top-class equestrian event this year. The main motivation for this is the social commitment in the context of the children’s home competition on the last day of the tournament, which Beyond Capital Partners is presenting for the second time as a sponsoring and prize-giving partner. The company is making a five-figure donation to several children’s homes as part of a ceremonial award ceremony for the riding obstacles creatively designed by the children.

Christoph D. Kauter, Managing Partner and founder of Beyond Capital Partners: “As a responsible investor, we see continuous social commitment as part of our own values. Actively supporting the children’s home competition as a sponsoring and award partner and thus also caring for the well-being of children in challenging circumstances is therefore particularly important to us.”
