Susi’s Bazaar
Manuela Pastore and Susanne Riz
Two close friends who felt the need to give something back. This was and is our motivation and therefore, in 2008, we decided to host the first Bazaar. The idea was to collect money for less privileged people and to provide them with a perspective, i.e. to empower them. In the meantime, we managed to raise almost 500,000 Swiss francs for charitable causes.

What is more, Susi’s Bazaar has turned into an annual meeting point for friends who want to spend an entertaining evening among cool women, buy Christmas presents and thus contribute to a good cause. The tenth edition of the Bazaar is history and the next Bazaar will take place in November 2018.
