Benefit Tea

CAESAR PARK BUENOS AIRES

Once again, we would like to specially invite you to the ALPI benefit tea. This year, besides of participating in a contest for important prizes, you will enjoy the Spring-Summer fashion show of designer Susana Ortiz. (www.susanaortiz.com.ar)

What´s collected will go towards the big challenge we took on this year: the realization of an intensive care unit, operating rooms and pediatrics hospitalization. This project arises before the lack of a children´s centre with these features. All of our efforts will lay on this realization over the next three years. No doubt, your solidarity responsibility in ALPI´s support is a key piece in the assembly of our social administration.

We count on your presence next Thursday September 17, 2009 at 17:00hs Caesar Park Hotel, Posadas 1232, City of Buenos Aires. Card value: $120.-

ALPI at Rural Exhibition

ONE MORE YEAR PRESENT AT THE 123º CATTLE RAISING, AGRICULTURE AND INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRY EXHIBITION

From July 23rd until August 4th, ALPI had its home-made food stand at the Cattle Raising exhibition in La Rural (Palermo´s showground).

Our stand was placed in the gastronomic isle where, like every year, we sold our delicious stew, steak, chorizo, burgers, pies and delicious home-made cakes.

This year, the collected funds will be destined to a big project: the realization of an intensive care unit, operating rooms and pediatrics hospitalization. This project arises before the lack of a children´s centre with these features. All of our efforts will lay on this realization over the next three years. No doubt, your solidarity responsibility in ALPI´s support is a key piece in the assembly of our social administration.

Third Great Solidarity Wine Auction

A classic that consolidates itself.

The great room of the Four Seasons Hotel held the third edition of this, already classic, auction.

Sponsor wineries and some private collectors contributed with varied and high class lots from the Argentine wine market.There were some sold out lots, special and limited editions and stylish magnum decanters.  Some particular stand outs were a ´42 Semillon alongside with three Henry Gran Guarda bottles provided by Lagarde Winery and a ´77 Malbec Estrella from Weinert (donated by a private collector). Some imported wines were also offered like Chateau Montviel and Chateau La Gravière from French Pomerol.

This year, ALPI has a big challenge: to create of an intensive care unit and pediatrics operating rooms. The collections from the auctions will be destined towards that goal.

It is also remarkable the growing participation of High range wineries: 16 this year, establishing a record of sponsor collaborators.

The benefit wine auctions are a great occasion to associate the highest exponents of grape growing and wine production combined with a beneficial goal. Double gratification and pleasure for those who collaborate participating in this event.

During the week of friends, Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center and Dr. Eduardo Galvez organized a benefit lunch for ALPI, in order to collect funds to build the new intensive care unit.
