A special evening for a significant cause: on October 24 in 2026, the traditional Kispiball was held at the Kunsthaus Zürich for the first time. Nobilis Estate AG was once again a partner of the charity gala in aid of the KiSpi, the University Children's Hospital Zurich, continuing its social commitment to the health and future of children.
After two decades at the renowned Hotel Baur au Lac, the Kispiball opened a new chapter this year. The Kunsthaus Zürich provided an impressive backdrop for an evening that brought together people from business, culture, and society – united by the shared goal of providing lasting support for medical care and research for seriously ill children.
Since its inception in 2005, the Kispiball has become one of Switzerland's most significant private charity events. Over the years, nearly ten million francs have been raised to benefit sick children. This year's edition once again combined social networking, cultural performances, and culinary highlights with an important charitable cause.
Focusing on life-saving research for children
The 2026 Kispiball was dedicated to sepsis research at the University Children's Hospital Zurich. Sepsis is a life-threatening overreaction of the immune system to an infection, which can lead to severe organ failure in a very short time. In Switzerland alone, over 500 children are affected by it every year.
The funds raised at this year's ball will support the development of new, personalised treatment options. The goal is to detect sepsis in children earlier and treat it more effectively, thereby saving lives.
A varied programme featuring musical performances, a festive dinner, a raffle, and various auctions made the evening a truly special experience. Throughout the event, the focus remained on the collective support for the young patients and their families.
Social responsibility as a lived value
For Nobilis Estate, the renewed partnership with the Kispiball reflects a long-term commitment: to take on social responsibility and contribute where support is most valuable.
As a company that deals with living spaces and quality of life every day, the well-being of people is particularly close to our hearts. Through our involvement, we want to help ensure that children have a hopeful future, even when facing difficult health challenges.
As a special gesture, Nobilis Estate presented guests at the Kispiball with a high-quality pocket umbrella – a symbolic gift that captures the idea of protection and care, intended to be remembered long after the event.
Achieving more together
The 2026 Kispiball impressively demonstrated how much can be achieved through collective commitment. We are proud to have been part of this significant charity event again this year.
Our sincere thanks go to the organisers, the numerous supporters, and everyone involved who contribute their efforts to improving the future prospects of sick children.
Because the future of our children deserves special protection.
