WILLEMSTAD - The CIBC FirstCaribbean Walking Dinner is back this year now with the picturesque Penstraat as the culinary center for this most popular event. The CIBC FirstCaribbean Walking Dinner is the main activity in a series of fundraising endeavors all part of the 11th edition of CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Walk for the Cure.
The CIBC FirstCaribbean Walk for the Cure Walking Dinner will be held on Tuesday, 13th September, 2022. The participating restaurants will be Blues Restaurant Curaçao, Fish & Joy Bistro, Obaar Brazilian Lounge, Sal the Kitchen and Soi 95. Tickets are available at the CIBC FirstCaribbean branch at De Ruyterkade 61.
The region’s largest cancer fundraiser, CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Walk for the Cure, celebrates its 11th anniversary this year. The Walking Dinner became a unique Curaçao event, given the love for nice tasting food locally. The choice of a walking dinner also better suited the prevailing public health scenario in Curaçao during the last few years, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, while still allowing participants to enjoy succulent dishes prepared by the best chefs.
All proceeds generated by the Walk for the Cure Dinner will be donated to Stichting Prinses Wilhelmina Fonds. The event became an instant success, and many look forward to this yearly fundraising event.
Timba Engelhardt, Country Head of CIBC FirstCaribbean in Curaçao, said “We are glad to host this year’s edition of CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Walk for the Cure Walking Dinner. Our neighboring Penstraat area will be the picturesque setting for our culinary center piece. We look forward for it to surpass our previous edition and so our contribution to Stichting Prinses Wilhelmina Fonds. Our team is diligently working to make this event a great success and we hope to welcome our participants to enjoy our Walking Dinner.”
The CIBC Walk for the Cure began as part of the celebrations to mark the bank’s 10th anniversary, and takes place across its 15-member footprint. It has raised over USD$3 million over the past ten years. The funds generated from the walk are used primarily to assist with the purchase and maintenance of equipment used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
The CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Curaçao Branch during the last 10 years contributed steadfastly to Stichting Prinses Wilhelmina Fonds as a token of appreciation for the valuable work they do in this most important fight against Cancer.
