DEPARTURES & Montblanc Great Characters event on November 19 at the Montblanc Boutique (Madison Avenue, NYC) was a huge success, with the event celebrating Great Character, Jim Ziolkowski and his outstanding support of buildOn.

DEPARTURES VIPs were encouraged to purchase items from the Montblanc Bespoke 25 Collection, with a percentage of sales benefiting buildOn. Guests now have the opportunity to shop for the next 25 days with a percentage of sales going to buildOn.

Montblanc’s sales ambassador, Mathew Jones, spoke about Montblanc’s commitment to philanthropy and introduced Jim Ziolkowski, the evening’s guest of honor, who spoke about his philanthropic work at buildOn.
