Well, we are 4 weeks in and things are slowly coming together. We now have about close to 20 corporate sponsors. Private donations are slowly trickling in, but without more support from individuals in Curaçao and in our C4C community, we will not achieve our goal.
In 4 weeks, we have raised about 60% of our 50000xcg goal. With only 2 weeks left to raise funds, the pressure is on!!!

The new Playground seems in sight, but we need a lot more donations to make this reality.

Once again, C4C would like to give a HUGE thank you to the following Businesses that have chosen to join this cause:

We are very happy to announce that we have another “Grote Knip” Level Sponsor!! We are sending a HUGE thank you to our newest sponsor, and wonderful friend of the C4C community:

Say hello to Tommy Coconut!!
If you aren’t familiar with the Coconut Cartel, here’s the 411: Tommy Coconut and his family provide you with a fully inclusive vacation, built to your specs, in your own private “resort”. The villas are pristine and luxurious, you get an EV (electric vehicle) included, they stock the fridge, provide outings (beach bonfires, boat trips, evening out…whatever you need or want), and easily handle any requests you may have. This is a local run, family business that truly outdoes any hotel or resort in Curaçao. You honestly have to see it to understand it. The Tommy Coconut family is very special to us, and we are super excited that they chose to join us in this amazing project!!

And let’s not forget our other amazing “Grote Knip Level Sponsor”, D&D Car Rental , our good friends, and one of Curaçao’s top car rental companies.

We also have another awesome “Klein Knip” Level Sponsor:

We are super happy to announce that one of Curaçao’s most environmentally friendly, and fun resorts, LionsDive has hopped on board this wonderful project!!! LionsDive has always been a favorite destination for travelers wanting to experience Curaçao, but they are also recognized as “Green Key” certified for all their amazing environmental efforts, including solar power, massive recycling, EV recharging stations, free reef-friendly sunscreen for all their guests, using recycled products to make many items needed for the hotel, and many more incredible actions, not the least of which is housing and supporting Reef Renewal Curaçao, the #1 protector and restorer of Curaçao’s most important feature…the coral reef. LionsDive is a shining example of responsible tourism, and we are super happy they have chosen to help us achieve our goal.

Lion’s Dive joins our other amazing “Klein Knip” Level Sponsor, Prima Car Rental!! Another great friend of C4C that we are happy to have aboard!

Thanks very much to the following business for being our newest “Playa Lagun” Level Sponsor:

Freeport Jewelers has been a cornerstone of local Curaçao businesses for over 50 years. With 6 locations, they have become the island’s largest and most respected dealer of luxury watches and jewelry. This is a quality business with deep familial roots in Curaçao and a respected member of the local community. Thanks to Freeport Jewelers for supporting this cause.

And here are our newest “Playa Guepi” Level Sponsors:

• Merakii Seaview Escape: An excellent friend to the C4C community, Canadian owned, and a top level hotel/resort, well situated in an amazing central location, with a beautiful sea view. They have even provided a discount coupon for the members of our C4C Facebook Group!
• Cha Cha Cha Furniture: Another longtime friend of C4C!! This is a local owned, family business, providing quality furniture, at reasonable prices. We can’t recommend them strongly enough!
• Western Tires: Established over 70 years ago, this well respected, local, family run business has been providing gold star service and parts to Curaçao for as long as most people can remember. We are proud to have their support!!
• Esty’s Brasserie: A beautiful and classic French brasserie, providing fine wines, refined French cuisine, and a beautiful ambiance. Located in historic Pietermaai, this is a must-do dining experience.

Although we are very happy with the progress thus far, with only 2 weeks left, and 20000XCG to go, the pressure is on. Local businesses have been amazing in their support, but individual donations have been slow. We know that things are tough all over, but this is for the kids, and honestly, every bit counts…5xcg, 10xcg…whatever…if enough people join together, we will succeed.

Please share the fundraiser far and wide, and PLEASE donate whatever you can!!

Mike and Stephanie
