I wear the typical black pumps to work 6 days a week. So don't be surprised if you see me wearing flip flops MOST of the time. I love Havaianas! Anyway, you probably read this already from your other favorite blogs (I am assuming that my blog is your favorite, too. **wink**). I am here to remind you to include going to the Mommy Mundo Bazaar at the Rockwell Tent in your weekend schedule.
Shop, shop, shop, meet the
SoMoms and let your kids participate in Havaianas Design A Smile 2.
{Press Release} Havaianas Pays it Forward with
Design a Smile 2 for the Benefit of Operation Smile
When was the last time you made
someone else smile? That is the question Havaianas asks you as it launches the
Havaianas Design a Smile 2, a flip-flops design contest for the benefit of
Operation Smile Philippines.
First launched in 2010, Havaianas
Design a Smile gives children the chance to show their artistic talents by
designing the next Havaianas Smile pair – a special design which will be
produced into an actual Havaianas pair, with a percentage of the sales to be
donated to Operation Smile Philippines, a non-profit organization which
provides life-changing surgeries to children with cleft lips and cleft palates.
The initial run generated more than 2,000 entries and raised more than PHP
100,000 from donations alone during this period.
“Havaianas believes that summer is a
state of mind and can be lived every day of the year whenever you adopt a happy
and carefree attitude,“ shares Anne Gonzalez, Managing Director of Havaianas
Philippines. “And nowhere else is that more evident than in children. With
Havaianas Design a Smile, we hope to generate funds and awareness to support
Operation Smile in our shared mission to spread smiles all over the world.”
This November to January, Havaianas
Design a Smile 2 is back, with the theme “Paying it Forward: Kids Helping
Kids.” Beginning November 24th, artistically inclined kids can join
Havaianas Design a Smile by submitting their designs illustrating their answer
to the question “What will you do to make other people smile?” at partner
events nationwide, beginning with the Bonifacio Global City Passion Fest at
Bonifacio High Street from November 24 to 26, and at the Mommy Mundo Bazaar at
the Rockwell Tent from November 24 to 25. Winners will receive exciting prizes
from Havaianas, bobble, Pininho, Hobbes and Landes, McDonald’s, and Sony. The
grand prize winner will also have his or her design produced as part of the
Havaianas 2014 Collection as the Havaianas Smile pair, with a percentage of the
sales from which will help fund the operations of Operation Smile.
“The response from our initial run
was overwhelming,” says Ammiel de Leon, Group Director, “this year, we hope to
enrich our partnership with Operation Smile even more and involve more people
all over the Philippines in Havaianas and Operation Smile’s advocacy to give
children their smiles.”
Havaianas
Design a Smile 2 kicks off at the Bonifacio Global City Passion Fest at
Bonifacio High Street, Fort Bonifacio Global City, Taguig from November 23 to
25, and at the Mommy Mundo Bazaar at the Rockwell Tent, Rockwell PowerPlant
Mall, Makati City from November 24 to 25. Like the Havaianas Philippines
