Pink ribbon of togetherness
The luncheon was a logistical feat: 192 benches, 96 tables, and a sea of pink runners filled the building. Guests enjoyed croissants, fresh pistolets, orange juice and coffee, while the atmosphere was enhanced by live music and surprise acts, including a visit from Mister Love himself. Volunteers and students provided flawless set-up and service.
Indelible impression
This first major community event demonstrated the power of collaboration. The WTC opened its doors not only physically, but also emotionally to the neighborhood. The image of hundreds of people at the long pink table, enjoying a loving lunch, showed how a building can become a vibrant hub of connection.
An event with impact
The Lunch of Love was not only a practical operation, but also a successful initiative to make the Zuidas more accessible. The event proved how a location can bring people together and sent a powerful message: the WTC is there for everyone. With this success as a basis, more connecting events are planned.
