The PASS Late Year Benefiz

PASS Late Year Benefit

The PASS Late Year Benefiz concert series has been held annually since 2003. Proceeds benefit charitable children's and youth projects in the Rhine-Main area as well as in developing countries.

The proceeds from the Late Year Benefiz 2025 will be used to advance the construction of a secondary school in Malawi, Africa, and to continue supporting the New Hope School in Sierra Leone. In addition, a donation will go to the Weg der Hoffnung foundation, which supports people in the slums around the city of Villavicencio in Colombia. 

The PASS Late Year Benefiz was born out of a company Christmas party in 2001, where the idea was to make the event more beautiful, more interesting and more sustainable. From then on, it became a public benefit concert. After beginnings in the city hall Aschaffenburg, one moved further into the Capitol Offenbach and finally, starting from 2005 into the old opera Frankfurt.
