On 24 May, the Hotel Anatura hosted the start of the 4 Kids’ Smiles Rally, a charity event bringing together solidarity, fine food and cars.
More than 100 cars and nearly 200 participants took to the road for a 180-kilometre route through Germany and Luxembourg, following an exclusive roadbook by Fun4Road (Norbert Camara).
In total, €155,000 was raised and is being donated to the King Baudouin Foundation, the Queen Paola Foundation and in support of Rémi Delrue.
Honoured by the Belgian Royal Family
The event was honoured by the presence of members of the Belgian Royal Family for two days. Their Royal Highnesses Princess Claire, Prince Laurent and Prince Aymeric showed their support for the cause and gave the 2026 edition a special sparkle.
Art, music and motorsport
The rally was made all the more special by a performance from Belgian singer Typh Barrow and the participation of racing driver Sarah Bovy.
The Chefs’ Ryder Cup: Belgium versus Luxembourg
The gastronomic highlight of the weekend, the Chefs’ Ryder Cup pitted Belgium against Luxembourg and brought together several big names in Michelin-starred cuisine.
- Team Belgium: Charles-Edouard Jeandrain, Giovanni Bruno, Lionel Rigolet, David Martin
- Team Luxembourg: Cyril Molard, Ilario Mosconi, René Mathieu, Yves Mattagne
- Referee: Pierre Résimont
Chocolate creations by Pierre Marcolini and Caspian Tradition caviar made this a truly singular gastronomic experience. The Pierre Wynants Trophy, created for the occasion by the artist François Grimoin, was presented at the end of the competition.
A deeply human commitment
Beyond the prestige, the 4 Kids’ Smiles Rally pursues one goal above all: raising funds for the King Baudouin Foundation and the Queen Paola Foundation, and supporting young Rémi Delrue.
Rémi recently shone at the European Championships in Madrid, winning one gold, two silver and one bronze medal in butterfly. His dream is to represent Belgium at the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
Amount raised: €155,000, thanks to the generosity of the participants, partners and all our supporters.
