The Quadrille Ball is an annual white-tie charity event supporting the German-American Scholarship Association Fund, which promotes educational exchanges between the U.S. and Germany. In recent years, it has also extended support to Ukrainian students needing financial assistance. The Quadrille dance is at the heart of the event, where the volunteer dancers with diverse international and professional backgrounds put on a beautiful performance. The night features fine dining, dancing, live music from a full orchestra, and a silent auction—all in support of transatlantic education.
