A Toast to Change: Acqua Fiuggi and One Drop Unite for Clean Water in Cannes

 

During glittering buzz of the Cannes Film Festival, an evening of purpose met the pulse of glamour with Fiuggi for One Drop, a philanthropic event hosted by Acqua Fiuggi in partnership with the One Drop Foundation. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Croisette and Square de Verdun, the soirée served as a powerful call to action: universal access to clean drinking water and ethical sanitation.

In a city known for its cinematic opulence, the evening added heart to the high fashion. Guests including Toni Garrn, Barbara Palvin, Scott Eastwood, Izabel Goulart, Sofia Vergara, Odell Beckham Jr., and Amina Muaddi mingled in a setting that merged elegance with advocacy. Interactive art installations, performances, and thoughtful design transformed the gala into a platform for change, raising awareness while capturing the imagination.

Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, President of Acqua e Terme di Fiuggi, spoke of the event as more than just a beautiful evening: "This is a global urgency. Cannes gave us the stage, but water gave us the reason." His words echoed the evening’s mission — to spotlight water as an essential resource, not a luxury. 

Guy Laliberté, visionary founder of One Drop and Cirque du Soleil, emphasized the power of creative philanthropy: "Through our work with Acqua Fiuggi, we unite art, performance, and generosity in the service of something vital — access to water for all."

Produced by TUFF, the same team behind amfAR and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation galas, the event was a flawless blend of showmanship and sincerity. As the Mediterranean shimmered nearby, Cannes proved again that when beauty meets purpose, real impact is possible.
