DHL Partners Placido Domingo Tour to Deliver Aspiring
Dreams of Children from Russian Charity
DHL Express, the leading provider of global express services, has teamed up with the Placido Domingo tour to offer a signed painting as part of their joint fundraising efforts for Russian arts-based children’s charity, Maria’s Children.
The picture, painted by orphaned Russian children supported by the charity, was signed by the legendary opera star and will be auctioned at a public charity event to be held later this year.
“We are delighted to be working with Placido Domingo to support this important charity and would like to thank him for his generous support. DHL Express has worked with Maria’s Children in Russia for nearly four years, and we look forward to continuing that support in the future, in order to help even more children in need,” said Adrian Marley, Country Manager of DHL Express Russia.
Commenting on the initiative, Placido Domingo said, “I am delighted to work with DHL to support the valuable work of Maria’s Children. I strongly believe that children from all backgrounds around the world should have the opportunity to realize their dreams.”
This latest initiative is an extension of DHL’s two-year contract as the exclusive logistics partner for Placido Domingo’s round the world tour. Domingo was in Moscow on 23 February 2008, performing at The State Kremlin Palace, and during the two-year tour, he will be performing other cities, including Hong Kong, Boston, Pecs and London.
