01Asia Week runs from May 2nd to 8th at The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin this year and sees specially-crafted cakes sold to raise funds for the international medical charity Smile Asia which provides children with cleft lips or palates a reason to smile again.


The Ritz-Carlton hotels of Asia Pacific are set to hit a new milestone this week for Smile Asia - a global alliance of independent charities, as it launches its third regional fundraiser program which will bring total funds raised to over US$1 million.


Each pastry chef has lovingly crafting his own variation on the Smile Asia Week signature cake which features the universally popular flavors of chocolate from Valrhona and banana. Customers from Tianjin can come to ZEST at The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin to buy cakes for their loved ones and friends or to celebrate a special occasion such as an anniversary or birthday and even Mother’s Day on May 8. The price is RMB288 net per cake only, but for children with cleft lips or palates, each cake selling means the possibility for them to smile again.


All proceeds go directly to the charity and will be used to send medical volunteers on surgical missions across Asia. This year, The Ritz-Carlton enhanced its collaborative program to celebrate the spirit of giving. These include collaborations with local schools, the creation of a First Class Smile Card which gives everyone a chance to thank and recognize the role they play in restoring a smile in the workplace and for the children supported by Smile Asia.


All Ritz-Carlton hotels in Asia-Pacific are participating with over 10,000 ladies and gentlemen lending their skills and passion to their community and guests. Volunteer ladies and gentlemen from The Ritz-Carlton are also participating in mission trips to remote locations in seven Asian countries to see firsthand how affected children have had their smiles restored.


"The Ritz-Carlton has always had a cornerstone guiding principle of striving to make a difference in the communities where we operate. Smile Asia Week is an annual signature event and just one way our ladies and gentlemen proudly share their skills and knowledge to lift up communities in Asia and inspire our guests to join us in this sustainable effort," said Victor Clavell, Vice President - Asia-Pacific. "I am delighted that Smile Asia is able to change so many lives with our contribution."


Funds raised in the previous two years totaled US$790,000 to support almost 1,000 surgeries and the contribution in 2016 is expected to be even higher, to help bring a total funds raised in three years to over US$1 million.
