Olé & Obrigado is pleased to add RWCF to its list of beneficiaries for Liquid Geography Rosé, which has raised over $372,000 since 2013 for nonprofit causes.

NEW ROCHELLE, NY, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After raising over $65,000 in 2020 for the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation Covid 19 Crisis Relief Fund through their Restaurant Relief Pack, Olé & Obrigado has added the organization to its community of beneficiaries from sales of Liquid Geography MencÍa Rosé. The fund has distributed over $6.5 million in direct assistance (to individuals, to partner nonprofits, and in the form on zero-interest loans for restaurants) since March of 2020, and the funds raised from sales of Liquid Geography Mencía will support these continuing programs.

Since the brand launched in 2013, Olé & Obrigado has donated over $372,000 from Liquid Geography sales to nonprofits like TJ Martell Foundation, South Bronx Educational Foundation, Wheeling Forward, World Central Kitchen, Wellfleet S.P.A.T. and now RWCF. The brand’s goal is to reach $1M in funds raised by 2025.
“The crisis for restaurants is ongoing,” says Patrick Mata, co-founder of Olé & Obrigado. “We feel so grateful for the support we´ve received from our friends in the hospitality community since we started importing wine in 1999, and we want to continue to give back with Liquid Geography.”

Liquid Geography Mencía Rosé is sold in fine retailers and restaurants across the United States. Olé & Obrigado donates 100% of profits from this wine to three great causes.
