About the MIR Bazaar
The MIR Bazaar and the Ladies Luncheon is an important part of the Sugar Golf tournament – not just because it keeps the ladies entertained, but also because a percentage of all sales made during the bazaar are donated to the Fundacion MIR. The Fundacion MIR is a non-profit organization which works to provide eduction and health services to the children and people of La Romana most in need.

About the Sugar Open Golf Tournament
The Sugar Golf Tournament, originally just another golf tournament, was won in 1990 by Alfie Fanjul, who subsequently donated his winnings to his sister, Lian Fanjul de Azqueta to use as seed money to found Casa de Paz. Since then the tournament now know as the Sugar Open incorporates a golf and a shooting tournament, the golf headed by Alfie Fanjul, the shooting headed by his brother Pepe Fanjul, with proceeds going to the charity their sister founded in 1990, the Fundacion MIR.
