THE WESTIN RESORT NUSA DUA, BALI PRESENTS COOKIES FOR CHARITY CREATED BY CHAMPIONS
Bali, 2 November 2010,- The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali invited two high profile international players from the 2011 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions - part of Sony Ericsson WTA Tours to create cookies for charity. Anna Ivanovic, winner of the 2010 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions together with Roberta Vinci participated in this worthwhile initiative.
Guided by Ewald Jeske, Executive Chef of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, the players created a few of their favourite flavoured cookies. The finished treats were then sold at the Tennis Village during the tournament to raise funds for UNICEF’s education projects in Asia Pacific. For 16 years UNICEF and Starwood Hotels and Resorts have been working together to raise funds for the world’s most vulnerable children – with over AUD$7M raised since the program began.
“We appreciate that the two players took time out of their busy schedules to participate in our Cookie for Charity event. It is heartening to know that away from the court they chose to do something positive to help children in need. It is an honour for us to be an integral part of this prestigious sporting event for the third year running. We do hope that everyone involved enjoys their time in Bali and I wish every player a successful tournament,” commented Mr. Bipan Kapur, General Manager of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali and Bali International Convention Centre.
