Annual Nationwide Mooncake Sale by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts
For the third year running, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Asia Pacific's leading luxury hotel group, has
organised a nationwide charity mooncake sale. The sale will start at the end of July 2009 through 3 October
2009, and will benefit Care for Children, a Beijing-based charity organisation that helps rebuild orphaned or
under privileged children's lives through foster care
.
A total of 27 Shangri-La and Traders hotels will join forces in this fund-raising activity. Previous years' efforts,
in 2007 and 2008, resulted in total sales of around
80,000
boxes of charity mooncakes and helped raise
more than
RMB
3
million (USD
452,838
) for Care for Children
.
Four mooncakes in two assorted flavours, in red and white lotus paste, will be packaged in specially designed
Shangri-La metal mooncake boxes in striking silver and red, priced at RMB138 each box. From every box of charity mooncakes sold, RMB40 will be donated to Care for Children.
