Montblanc Launches Signature for Good "Children's Wishes for Children" - A nationwide holiday initiative to benefit UNICEF

Montblanc is inviting children and families around USA to join its efforts to spread words of peace and hope for the holiday season, raising funds for UNICEF in the process. When visiting one of the participating Montblanc boutiques, children will be asked to draw or write a special wish for a child in need on a uniquely designed silver wish ornament.

The wishes will be displayed on garlands in the boutiques for all to read and enjoy. Each ornament can be purchased for a $1 donation to UNICEF, with Montblanc matching the total dollar generated from this activity.

Jan Patrick Schmitz, Montblanc North America President & CEO states, "There are thousands of children around the world who need support and encouragement. We should take this opportunity to encourage children to remember those less fortunate and express their wishes in writing for a brighter future."

This holiday initiative ties into Montblanc's longtime support of the children's aid organization UNICEF to benefit their worldwide education and literacy programs. Because caring is more important than ever before, Montblanc has recently reinforced its support for UNICEF, a partner they have been working closely with since 2004.

Through its global "Signature for Good" initiative, Montblanc has developed a unique collection of writing instruments, jewelry and accessories to help raise funds to support UNICEF in their work to reduce illiteracy. Through this program, Montblanc will donate 10% of the proceeds of each product sold from the "Signature for Good" collection to UNICEF, with the overall aim of reaching a $1.5 million goal by May 2010 through various global fundraising initiatives.
