Hendrick’s Gin donates to Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation

Hendrick’s Gin is pleased to contribute to the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation by way of funds collected at the 2014 King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament, at which Hendrick’s Gin hosted its own ‘Hendrick’s Unusual Emporium’ refreshment booth and Hendrick’s cocktail bar.

Funds raised from sales of Hendrick’s Gin were pledged to the Foundation, raising a total of 72,750 Baht in charitable proceeds that will go to support important initiatives of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation.

William Grant & Sons’ Regional Portfolio Ambassador, Zachary Connor de Git, joined Bangkok’s top 5 mixologists to create special Hendrick’s-themed cocktails for the Elephant Polo tournament; Hendrick’s Unusual Emporium encouraged guests to take a walk into a Victorian themed venue, while contributing to an exceptional charitable cause on the way! The tournament enabled participating event partners to contribute to the Foundation, with Italasia, Hyde & Seek Gastro Bar, Junker and Bar, Perfume Bar, Ku De Ta and Sugar Ray all pledging donations.

Tim Boda, Director of Culinary Excellence & Events, received the donation from Max Benedetti, Managing Director, Italasia Trading Co. Ltd., the distributor of WGS products in Thailand, along with Zachary and his team of mixologists at a special ceremony hosted at Anantara Riverside.

The opening day of the 2014 King’s Cup Elephant Polo tournament marked the start of a month-long charity donation period in which participating retailers of Hendrick’s Gin will also donate some of profits from Hendrick’s Gin sales to GTAF Asian Elephants (www.helpingelephants.org).
