Marie Brizard to raise funds for WiTR

Marie Brizard Wines & Spirits (MBWS) will be raising funds at its evening cocktail on Tuesday October 4th for this year’s Women in Travel Retail (WiTR) charity Sunrise.  WiTR aims to raise €15,000 to build and equip two classrooms at Sunrise’s Siem Reap Learning Centre in Cambodia and MBWS will be providing special buckets at its cocktail to encourage additional donations .

Kevin Baker, Marie Brizard’s Global Travel Retail Director, says:  “ 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 at the WiTR event, it seemed like a great opportunity for us to do our bit!”

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.


“If you are coming to the Marie Brizard Wines & Spirits cocktail, which takes place at the Plage Mandala from 1800 to 2130, please make sure you bring some extra Euros!”
