Through the “Signature for Good” initiative, Montblanc has developed a unique collection of writing instruments, jewelry and accessories to help raise funds to support UNICEF‘s education and literacy programs for children worldwide. The Friday before the 2009 Oscars, Montblanc presented in Los Angeles for the first time 12 beautiful portraits of Hollywood’s finest leading ladies. The portraits then traveled around the world to be back in Los Angeles in September 2009 when they were auctioned to benefit UNICEF.

Each year, Montblanc International will present on the night before the Academy Awards the announcement of their annual charity initiative.  This year, the star-studded event featured the unveiling of the Montblanc Wish Tree.  The Montblanc Wish Tree gave celebrity guests the opportunity to write their “wishes” for children’s education with a special Montblanc Meisterstück Fountain Pen. Following the event, the Montblanc Wish Tree, bearing these special aspirations for those less fortunate, will tour the world, and return to New York City in September where it will be exhibited for the international launch of the Montblanc Donation Pen John Lennon to collect more wishes.

Montblanc will further announce in September 2010 the charity programs which will benefit from the donations of the sales of the Montblanc John Lennon pen and at the end of the year the Montblanc Wish Tree will be auctioned to benefit education programs for children in need.
