A gift that gives back

WONDERS of Christmas: an ultimate island vacation.

What if you could give yourself a present you deserve while doing good for the world? What if one purchase can reward you with once-in-a-lifetime experience while saving acres of forest? Now you can, simply by joining the Ultimate Island Getaway Sweepstake Campaign by EverSince.

EverSince, an e-commerce start-up, is launching Asia’s first online experience marketplace with the mission of curating unique, once-in-a-lifetime moments for social good.

To celebrate the launch, EverSince has joined forces with Mission Hills, a chain of world-class resorts and Rainforest Trust. Since 1988, Rainforest Trust has been dedicated to protecting threatened rainforests and endangered wildlife.

Joining the sweepstake gives you a chance at a dream, all-expense paid getaway to the island of Hainan in China, and allows you to help Rainforest Trust purchase and protect acres of rainforest. It’s a gift that gives back to the environment, and gives you an opportunity at a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Think of it as a lifestyle lottery or a lucky draw. You enter the sweepstakes by buying a special edition commemorative gift from Mission Hills at any of the following prices:

•$10 gives you 100 entries at the draw, save five acres of vital habitat and a commemorative keychain;

•$25 gives you 500 entries at the draw, save 12.5 acres of vital habitat and a commemorative keychain;

•$50 gives you 1,000 entries at the draw, save 25 acres of vital habitat and a commemorative keychain; and

•$100 gives you 3,000 entries at the draw, save 50 acres of vital habitat and a commemorative keychain.

The Sweepstakes runs until 31 December 2019 only.

The winner and a companion receive roundtrip flights to Hainan Island with two nights stay at a five-star Ritz-Carlton private villa in Mission Hills, Haikou, with complimentary golf lessons from a professional. At a cocktail masterclass with Lu Yao, one of Asia’s 50 best bartenders, you and a friend can learn the basics of his trade while creating your own cocktail recipe.

The winner also enjoys a bespoke eight-course menu designed exclusively by the head chef of Tin Lung Heen; a nourishing spa session using Hainan Island’s volcanic minerals; aerial adventure in a Robinson R44 helicopter with an IG famous lifestyle photographer; island hopping on your own private catamaran; and a cultural brunch at the first theme park named after the award winning director, Feng Xiaogang.

This phrase is used more often than we can count. But this gift is a way to give back to nature by helping Rainforest Trust, and gives you a chance at a one-of-a-kind luxury travel adventure.

The partnership between EverSince and Mission Hills is the first of its kind in Asia, and launches a whole new perspective on helping worthy causes.

“We’re excited to partner with a regional start-up such as EverSince for this campaign and admire the social impact their business model delivers,” said Tenniel Chu, vice chairman of Mission Hills.

“We are excited to be launching a travel offering like this,” said Jake Fong, chief experience officer of EverSince. “Especially since we see a growing trend to having YOLO experiences and to make an impact at the same time is appealing to millennials and the younger generation.”

The perfect gift for you and your Christmas list beckons. Benefit a worthy cause by simply making a one-time purchase of $10, $25, $50 or $100, and you will have the chance to experience this ultimate island getaway.
