Singapore luxury fashion retailer Club 21 and MasterCard Worldwide are teaming up to support seven charitable organisations in the Asia-Pacific region through the MasterCard Purchase with Purpose programme, in conjunction with Club 21’s 40th anniversary.
Shoppers at Club 21 can now enjoy the Autumn/Winter 2012 fashion season while giving back to society. Between 1 August 2012 and 30 September 2012, MasterCard will make a contribution for every transaction made with a MasterCard card at all Club 21 stores in seven cities. All purchases made at Club 21’s online store, to be launched in August, will also earn a donation.
Club 21’s sister company, COMO Hotels and Resorts, has supported the MasterCard Purchase with Purpose programme since 2010, raising a total of USD75,580 to date. This year, both companies will collaborate with MasterCard in luxury fashion and hospitality, respectively.
The funds generated from the Club 21-MasterCard collaboration will support programmes including: computer literacy and training courses for rural women and farmers in Thailand and Indonesia, professional skills training and development for underserved women in Singapore and Hong Kong; and certification courses for Aboriginal women in Taiwan, abused women in Malaysia, and young refugee women in Australia.
The Club 21-MasterCard Purchase with Purpose collaboration will involve Club 21 stores in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the Club 21 online store.
