Dedicated to our COVID Unit front-line heroes
WILLEMSTAD - The 2021 edition of the CIBC FirstCaribbean Walking Dinner, as this year’s main activity for 10th edition of the CIBC FirstCaribbean Walk for the Cure, was a sold-out event and great success.
The event combined walking through the unique Rif Fort village while enjoying a full four-course dinner prepared by the chefs of Chanterelle Bistro, Gondola, Porto Restaurant Curaçao and Steak and Ribs Rif Fort.
The Walking Dinner was part of the region’s largest cancer fundraiser, CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Walk for the Cure, through which funds are raised for the fight against cancer. It was held this year in Curaçao in honour of the COVID Unit’s personnel for their valuable work, dedication and sacrifice during the COVID -19 pandemic.
All proceeds generated by this event will be donated to the Stichting Prinses Wilhelmina Fonds for the valuable work they are doing in the fight against cancer in Curaçao.
Timba Engelhardt, Country Head of CIBC FirstCaribbean in Curaçao, thanked all those who participated in the Walking Dinner. A special thanks went to NuCuraçao Windparken as the main sponsor of the event, the participating restaurants as well as Renaissance Mall & Rif Fort for their contribution.
The participants themselves enjoyed succulent dishes while interacting joyously during the sit-downs and the moving between restaurants.
This year is the 10th anniversary CIBC FirstCaribbean Walk for the Cure and celebrations to mark the milestone takes place across its 16-member footprint. Walk for the Cure has raised over USD$2.9 million over the past nine years regionally.
