‘Tis the season for giving, and Edgar Ramirez has been working hard to earn his angel wings.

The Gold star hosted a holiday event for Heal The Bay—a nonprofit environmental group working to restore Santa Monica Bay—to support the cleanup of LA bays and beaches last week.

The event was held in conjunction with Gran Centenario‘s Angels on Earth Program, which benefits the local Los Angeles community and celebrates those who selflessly give back to them. Over the years,  the brand and “Angels  on  Earth” have  partnered  with organizations across  education,  the arts and neighborhood  groups  to honor  real  life “Angels”  and  individuals for  their  acts  of  service.  Past supporters have included Christina Milian, Ryan Phillippe  and Brody Jenner.

This time around, attending guests brought gifts for those in need to the event at Sunset Tower Hotel, and were encouraged to sign up for the beach cleanup initiative. Ramirez, a goodwill UNICEF ambassador, explained “real angels are those amongst us who make a difference in the lives of others, no matter how small the deed.”

A focal piece at the event was the Gran Centenario Angel of Victory, which represents Mexico’s first centenary independence from Spain. The same logo is proudly displayed on each and every bottle and symbolizes what the program means to convey. The shared actions  of  perseverance  and  commitment  provide  the  opportunity  to  help  those  in need in the Los Angeles community while simultaneously honoring the heritage and the respect they all proudly share.

The bay cleanup will take place on February 18, 2017, and will travel to other cities through out 2017 with focuses on the individual cities needs.
