Captain Morgan & Mardi Gras

Once again Rum saves the day!

Captain Morgan and New Orleans-based Kern Studios have joined efforts to ensure that a world-class Mardi Gras celebration returns to New Orleans in a meaningful and impactful way in 2006. As part of the "Captain Morgan Mardi Gras or Bust" campaign announced in New Orleans in early November, the two organizations have launched an integrated, nationwide fundraising campaign that will assist in the financial relief of New Orleans and Gulf Coast area hospitality workers affected by the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Captain Morgan has partnered with Blaine Kern of Kern Studios, the world's most renowned Mardi Gras float creator, to design 150 life-size busts of Captain Morgan. Each bust will be individually themed, decorated and auctioned off throughout the country from mid-November through to the New Orleans Mardi Gras celebration on February 28, 2006. In recognition of the one hundred fiftieth Mardi Gras celebration, the "Captain Morgan Mardi Gras or Bust" program will benefit The New Orleans Hospitality Workers Disaster Relief Fund. Additional funds will be distributed to Mississippi and Alabama hospitality worker relief funds through the Mississippi Hospitality Workers' Relief Fund and the Alabama Hospitality Workers' Relief Fund. In addition to local market auctions and fundraising efforts held around the country, a limited number of Captain Morgan busts will be put up for bid on the popular eBay auction site beginning November 27.
