This year’s Arnold Schwarzenegger–Westime Charity Night in Los Angeles raised a record-breaking $9.75 million for After-School All-Stars. Monika Langthaler, Director of the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, attended the event.

Bringing people together, inspiring them and turning shared commitment into action: At the Charity Night in Los Angeles, Arnold Schwarzenegger once again demonstrated the energy and conviction he brings to the causes closest to his heart.

The record sum will benefit After-School All-Stars, the organisation Arnold co-founded. Each year, it supports around 150,000 children and young people across the United States, opening up new opportunities through after-school programmes.

For Monika Langthaler, the evening was an opportunity to witness this commitment firsthand. The enthusiasm and generosity of the guests showed what people can achieve when they come together for a shared cause.

From Los Angeles to Kitzbühel

At the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, preparations are already underway for our next major charity event. On January 21, 2027, we will once again join Arnold Schwarzenegger in welcoming guests to the Special Dinner for Climate Action at the Stanglwirt Bio- and Wellness Resort in Tyrol.

For the first time, the evening will be held under a unifying theme: “RE-WILD – An ode to nature and its elements.” It is an invitation to celebrate the power and beauty of nature, embrace its wild spirit and help protect it.

During Kitzbühel’s race week, the dinner will bring together people who share our enthusiasm for a thriving planet and want to advance environmental and climate action. The inspiration from Los Angeles makes us look forward to this special evening even more.
