Republic National Distributing Co. (RNDC) said it is matching Pernod Ricard USA‘s $500,000 donation to the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild (USBG) COVID-19 Relief Campaign with an additional $500,000 for a total of $1 million.
“We hope our combined donation will help the USBG members who have been severely impacted by the current health emergency,” said Tom Cole, President/CEO of RNDC and Young’s Market Co. “Our industry has a history of helping its own, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
“We’re very pleased that RNDC is joining with Pernod Ricard USA and Jameson Irish Whiskey in this relief effort, since there will be some hard roads ahead for many bartenders,’ said Ann Mukherjee, Chairman/CEO, Pernod Ricard North America. “In these unprecedented times, it’s important that we all stand together – it’s what our employees, customers, and consumers expect.”
