Following the launch of Lunch4Ukraine, hospitality industry representatives have created an auction of experiences to help raise funds for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine appeal.
More than 50 prizes have been donated by hotels and hospitality organisations to Hospitality Auction4Ukraine. Items include a suite and cocktails at The Savoy, a private dining experience for 12 guests at Corrigan’s of Mayfair, and a stay at Claridge’s.
Other prizes include a Vintage Steam Boat Experience at Henley Regatta, two tickets to the Hurlingham Club Grand Prix Ball, a South of France Classic Car Road Rally, as well as a collection of four Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Whiskies.
Proceeds will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), which is operating in Ukraine and neighbouring countries to help meet the needs of refugees and displaced people.
Hospitality Auction4Ukraine is open to all, not just the hospitality industry, with the opportunity to place bids online. The auction will close at 9pm on 14 April.
Stuart Bowery MI, multi-property general manager, JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, said: “The launch of Hospitality Auction4Ukraine is a vital step in the hospitality industry’s collective fundraising goal to support the Ukrainian people in their time of need. We are extremely grateful to the businesses that have donated prizes to help us reach this goal.”
