Emilia and J.Pepe Fanjul cordially invite you to the 20th annual Cartier Benefit Cocktail and Dinner, on Thursday December the 29th, at Casa Grande in Casa de Campo, held in aid of the Fundación MIR and the Hogar del Niño.
This glamorous occasion is the only yearly event which raises money to benefit both the Fundación MIR and the Hogar del Niño charities equally and as of last year has raised over 1 million dollars for each cause – that’s a total benefit of more than 2million dollars! The event, which this year is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary is expected to raise even more funds to help these outstanding charities continue caring for and educating the women and children of the greater La Romana area.
The Cartier Benefit is elegantly divided into 2 separate occasions; the Cartier Cocktail and the Dinner – Dance, which are both celebrated at the Fanjul’s Casa de Campo estate, Casa Grande.
The Cartier Cocktail
The Cartier cocktail, hosted by Mrs. Pepe Fanjul and Cartier begins at 6:30pm and ends at 9pm, during which time guests will enjoy a champagne cocktail, whilst taking part in a silent and live auction, as well as shopping at the Cartier Exhibition.
