Brugal foundation president, George Arzeno Brugal highlighted that the award seeks to contribute to create new dimensions to the condition of being human, communicating the successful efforts of the organizations beyond the scope of those who directly benefit from their work.
During the evening, the Brugal Foundation also recognized the humanitarian work of the late Father Luis Quinn in San Jose de Ocoa, and that of David Marti, calling him an anonymous heroe for his work to rescue vagabond children in the Colonial City and the neighborhoods of Cristo Rey and Los Minas.
