16th June 2019 (Sunday), Kuala Lumpur – Close to 300 people showed up at a recent fundraiser organized to support the environmental efforts of local environmental NGO, EcoKnights.
The fundraiser, called Sea Blue Sunday, was organized for Pisco Bar consumers to spark conversations about sustainable living while raising funds for the NGO’s river education and clean-up programs.

In the earlier part of the Sunday, children and parents had the opportunity to participate in some workshops to learn, experience and play around the environment theme, especially the plastic pollution.
Later on, in the evening, Pisco Bar, hosted performances by their very talented local musicians before the prizes from the raffle were drawn!!

The funds will be used to purchase river testing equipment and refills, as well as to increase the frequency of this program to benefit more children in the city.
