Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai, raised $60,670 during a culinary event last week in support of ‘Road to Awareness’, Marriott International’s annual associate fundraising campaign.

 

The event took place in the Starlight Ballroom on October 17 and was hosted by Dubai Eye’s Tom Urquhart, who led a raffle draw and auction.

 

From a culinary perspective, 19 of Marriott International’s executive chefs showcased their specialties from their signature restaurants.

 

Heinz F Grub, General Manager of the Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai, said: “It was a delight to welcome the very best of Marriott International’s culinary talent to the Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai for this fundraising event. The Road to Awareness associate campaign has been making a positive difference to children in the communities Marriott International operates in since 2008.”

 

All the funds raised through Road to Awareness will be given to the Al Jalila Foundation in support of the ‘Farah’ project (joy or happiness in Arabic) which will provide financial support for children’s medical treatments in the UAE, said a statement. – TradeArabia News Service
