Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong and Mercedes-Benz Partner to Offer “A” Charity Christmas Hamper

The Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong and Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong have together launched the “A” hamper, a Mercedes-Benz A 160 filled with premium Island Shangri-La festive items.

 Valued at HK$235,000, the initiative is designed to encourage a conscientious Christmas, and to raise funds for the charity organisation, Heep Hong Society.

Guests who donate HK$100 will receive a raffle ticket and an opportunity to drive home a Mercedes-Benz A 160. Other prizes include weekend stays in the hotel’s suites with dinner at either the Michelin two-star Restaurant Petrus or Lobster Bar and Grill.

Raffle tickets are available at the festive ticket counter on level six of the hotel, and in all of the hotel’s restaurants until 2 January 2011. The raffle ticket draw will take place on 3 January 2011.

Speaking of the clever initiative, Mr. Darren Gearing vice president and general manager of Island Shangri-La said, “We are very grateful to Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Claus Weidner for their eagerness and support of this project. We hope to surpass last year’s HK$400,000 donation to Heep Hong Society, in order to provide much needed training facilities for autistic children, as well as children who are physically or mentally challenged.”

Dr. Claus Weidner, Chief Operating Officer of Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong, added, “At Mercedes-Benz, we strive to provide our customers with world-class products and services, and we see the same value in Island Shangri-La. We are very glad to see these two well-known brands working together for the very first time on this meaningful event, which contributes back to the society.”
