The Peruvian Independence Day party was hopping at Poste Brasserie at the Hotel Monaco Tuesday night. Guests invited by sponsors Macchu Pisco, Evelyn Brooks Designs, and the Embassy of Peru celebrated the Declaration of Peru’s Independence from Spain by Jose de San Martin in 1821 with Pisco Sours and a fashion show to benefit Coprodeli’s earthquake reconstruction efforts in Peru. Award winning Macchu Pisco and its Founder/CEO Melanie Da Trinidade-Asher provided Peru’s national drink, while co-Host Evelyn Brooks displayed her new styles in a jewelry and fashion show featuring her signature rosaries. The party was a success with a few revelers even wearing red and white, the colors of the Peruvian flag.

We are thrilled to share with you the overwhelming success of Coprodeli USA's first annual Washington DC Peruvian Independence Day Pisco Party on July 28 at Poste Brasserie.
We estimate more than 500 guests celebrated with pisco cocktails by award-winning and internationally acclaimed MacchuPisco and an exclusive jewelry and fashion show featuring the new fall collection from Evelyn Brooks Designs. This event was our largest ever, and we are excited to have had the opportunity to share our work with so many new supporters!
Thank you for posting our event and for the wonderful review on your site – it was a tremendous part of the night’s success! The publicity and media support from writers like you were critical to the night’s success and in bringing new attention to Coprodeli’s work. Thank you so much for your role in promoting this event to support Coprodeli’s programs and initiatives in Peru. We look forward to our continued partnership with you and KStreetKate as we relentlessly work towards fighting poverty and providing development and opportunity for the poorest individuals. We will be hosting our 3rd Annual Celebración de Coprodeli, commemorating our 20th anniversary of comprehensive development in Peru in October – please save the date!
