Frédérique Constant : Yes we Cannes

Among the many commitments undertaken by the Manufacture Frédérique Constant on behalf of charities around the world, the Global Gift Foundation brought together an audience of celebrities and philanthropists at Cannes in mid-May. The funds raised during the gala dinner, of which Frédérique Constant was the main partner, will serve to provide direct support for three humanitarian projects. Firstly, help for earthquake victims in Nepal; secondly, the Eva Longoria Foundation; and thirdly the Global Gift Foundation’s Casa in Marbella project for children suffering from rare diseases. In parallel, the Global Gift Humanitarian Award was awarded to Swedish entrepreneur Johan Eliasch, president of the Cool Earth association that fights global warming, to whom Aletta Stas (co-founder of Frédérique Constant) also presented a Heart Beat Manufacture watch.
