Montblanc hosted its final Signature for Good “Children’s Wishes for Children” event on Dec. 15, 2009 in New York City. The goal of the nationwide initiative that kicked off in mid-November was to raise funds and awareness for UNICEF’s efforts in increasing  worldwide literacy. Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford shared nothing but messages of hope as she helped local children sign ornaments with thoughtful wishes. Each ornament was sold in exchange for a $1 donation to UNICEF and matched by Montblanc. www.montblanc.com
