Four Seasons Hotel Macao hosts its annual charity event Run of Hope Macau for the eleventh consecutive year on November 10, 2019, in co-operation with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and The International School of Macao (TIS), with TDM – Teledifusão de Macau, S. A. as the official Media Partner and lululemon as the exclusive Wellness Partner. Earlier in the quarter, a Run of Hope poster design competition among TIS students was held as a kick start to this year’s activities under Run of Hope Macau, and in hopes to engage local youths in learning the importance of sharing and giving back to the community.
In support of Run of Hope, Four Seasons Macao and TIS joined forces to host a poster design competition for secondary students of TIS, as a creative way to encourage local youths to take part in initiatives that connect them to the local community. A total of 10 entries were received and two-rounds of design presentation and judging took place, before a group entry by three students, Owen Hung, Jack Wong and Luis Filipe Chipenda Martins, won the competition with their illustrative yet meaningful design. The trio showcased a graphic design that depicts the signature skyline of Macau at dawn with an orange hue, in symbolism of a city that is filled with warmth and compassion, and consistently supports philanthropic initiatives across the board.
Popular atheleisure brand lululemon takes part in Run of Hope 2019 as the exclusive wellness partner, with a holistic initiative. The partnership marks the first of its kind for the brand with a local Hotel since opening its first store in Macau. From now until November 9, 2019, lululemon will provide all Run of Hope participants a complimentary “lululemon experience” session at its stores, as a warm-up for the charity run. The brand is also sponsoring a full-set sports gear from its new line, as lucky draw prize for the pre-run event Cocktails for a Cause.
A night that combines artistry and philanthropy, Cocktails for a Cause aims to raise funds in a fun and engaging fashion. On October 25, guests are welcome to enjoy creative cocktails at the hotel’s pool deck, crafted by guest mixologists, who are some of Macau’s favorite personalities with a big heart. The eight guest mixologists will be engaged in a friendly competition with each other and the one with the highest fund raised by selling his cocktail will be the Champion of the night. The funds will be donated to Kiang Wu Hospital and Evangelize China Fellowship Orphanage through Run of Hope. Tickets are MOP 100 each, which includes a lucky draw ticket.
In order to raise additional funds for Run of Hope Macau, a silent auction is launched on the event’s official Facebook page from now until November 10, with fabulous auctioning items such as luxurious accommodation at Four Seasons hotels and resorts located in London at Trinity Square, Montreal, Bora Bora, Maldives at Kuda Huraa, Bali at Jimbaran Bay, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and Hoi An. An array of wine and dine and entertainment items are available for auction as well.
