An Invite to Ipanema's Walk the Green Mile

I received the above invite last week from Ms. Cecille Guevarra of M2.0 Communications. It's for Ipanema's Walk the Green Mile campaign. I actually already knew about it as it was discussed during Ipanema's A Blogger's Night and even that night's loot bag contained a printout about it (see below).

Walk the Green Mile is a walkathon project of Haribon Foundation, an environment conservation organization, and ELRO Commercial and Industrial Corporation, the exclusive distributor of Ipanema flipflops in the country. The said project aims to conserve the biodiversity of Philippine rainforests.

What: Ipanema Walk the Green Mile

When: March 21, 2009, Saturday

Time: Registration starts at 3PM and the Walkathon starts at 5:00 PM

Where: The Fort (near Le Souffle in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City)

What's in store for you: The first 500 participants will receive a limited Edition Ipanema GB Seeds baller ID while the first 100 get a free Walk the Green Mile shirt. The first 50 participants get a free Ipanema GB Seeds of their choice.

Best deal to have: Those who will purchase flipflops at the venue get 10% discount and a chance to win a pair of Ipanema Gisele Bundchen (GB) seeds flipflops signed by the lovely Miss Gisele (the world's highest paid model) herself. And for all participants, it is of course the fulfilling feeling of contributing to the conservation of our rainforests.

So don your favorite pair of Ipanema flipflops and be empowered as you take the strides to a greener and lusher Philippine forest.

Thank you, Miss Cecille, for the invite. Too bad I'll miss this walkathon as I'll be in Bangkok then for business. I'm sure 'twill be a blast though as your last event was totally awesome!
