Marie Brizard Wines & Spirits (MBWS) will raise funds for this year’s Women in Travel Retail (WiTR) charity initiative at its cocktail party during TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes.
The party will take place at the Plage Mandala on Tuesday 4 October, 6pm – 9.30pm.
As reported, WiTR aims to raise €15,000 to build and equip two classrooms at the Sunrise Siem Reap Learning Centre in Cambodia. MBWS will be providing special buckets at its cocktail to encourage additional donations.
Sunrise Learning Centre provides the poorest sectors of the community with the opportunity to learn a foreign language, empowering them to find good jobs in Siem Reap’s tourism industry. Children from impoverished backgrounds are also offered free classes in English.
Marie Brizard Global Travel Retail Director Kevin Baker said: “I read about the fundraising initiative this year and felt that we should do something to help. After all, Marie Brizard – the strong, pioneering woman behind the world famous Anisette – was herself devoted to charity work. As our cocktail to relaunch the brand is the same evening as the WiTR event, it seemed like a great opportunity for us to do our bit.”
“If you are coming to the Marie Brizard Wines & Spirits cocktail please make sure you bring some extra Euros,” Baker added.
