Buy a Heineken Bracelet and Help Protect our Marine Life!
Heineken St. Maarten, The Natural Reserve of Saint Martin and the Nature Foundation of St. Maarten announced a collaboration which kicked off during the 2007 St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. (The next regatta is scheduled for March 5-8, 2009.)
In partnership with Heineken and the Sint Maarten Yacht club, the sale of Heineken, Serious 'Clean' Fun bracelets commenced from various shopkeepers around the island. Shipwreck Shops were the first stores to carry these environmental reminders, in stores and in their merchandise tents during the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta.
The money collected from the sale of the bracelets is used to fund the various efforts of the French and Dutch marine parks to help them to protect the natural patrimony. A similar effort by these organisations during the last two Heineken Regattas brought a total combined sum of nearly $8.000!
The St. Maarten Heineken Regatta is THE nautical and sporting event on St Maarten and it is very important from an economical point of view, because of its contribution to the tourism development of the island. Many sailors put their anchor in our waters in order to participate in 'Serious Fun' during the days of racing and the nights' activities. "We want to use Heineken's exposure during the event, to generate interest in helping to protect our marine life." says Nicolas Maslach of the Natural Reserve of Saint Martin.
"The 'Serious Fun' tagline is a long lasting Regatta tradition," says Heineken's marketing manager Norbert Kout, "we added the word 'Clean' to the tagline on the bracelets to represent something closer to the cause of the nature organisations we support. We feel that when you wear the bracelet, you show people that you care about our Island and our Waters, and hopefully it serves as a reminder for us to keep our beaches and waters clean."
Inquire about the purchase of the bracelets at Shipwreck Shop locations, through the 2 foundations and at the Heineken Office in Cole Bay and at the Sint Maarten Yacht Club Regatta Office. What a great way to show your love for nature and good times and of course the 100% natural ingredients of Heineken beer!
