CAMPARI Celebrates Negroni Week and Charitable Giving

It's the 10th anniversary of Negroni Week celebrating a decade of charitable giving and the world's best-selling cocktail, the Negroni, with Campari at its heart. The week kicked off on September 12 and will last until September 18th to honor a decade of raising funds.

Negroni Week is the global charity initiative hosted by Campari, Italy's iconic red aperitivo, and ImbibeMagazine. It puts the power of fundraising in the hands of bars and restaurants, resulting in over $3 million dollars raised for charitable causes to date.

Readers can be involved and give back to the new official giving partner Slow Food by enjoying classic or creative Negroni offerings, featuring its key ingredient Campari, at participating bars and restaurants across the country.
