RUNNING FOR SMILES

Foxy Times Gin for a good cause

Childhood friends Korneel Warlop and Nicolas Delie will take on the challenge of a lifetime this Sunday, November 3rd, as they run the New York City Marathon — the world's largest race with over 65,000 participants.

They'll be part of a 30-member Belgian delegation running in support of Cliniclowns vzw, an organization that brings joy and comfort to children in hospitals across Belgium. Their mission: to complete the mythical 42.2 km through the vibrant streets of New York, while raising vital funds for a cause close to their hearts.

More than a race

"For us, participating is more important than winning," says Korneel Warlop.
"All the money we raise through the sale of our Foxy Times Gin goes directly to Cliniclowns vzw. Every cent helps bring a smile where it's needed most."

Cliniclowns counts on its marathon runners for financial support to keep their incredible work going. "Each runner commits to raising a minimum donation that goes entirely to Cliniclowns' operations," Korneel explains.
"All personal costs — flights, hotels, and marathon fees — are, of course, covered by us."

Why it matters

For Nicolas and his family, the cause is deeply personal. His two sons have experienced the joy that Cliniclowns brings firsthand.
"That made us realize just how important their work is," Nicolas shares.
"To give back, we wanted to do more than just ask for donations — we wanted to create something meaningful. That's how Foxy Times Gin was born."

A toast to purpose

What started as a way to raise funds for a good cause soon grew into something much bigger — a passion project rooted in quality, authenticity, and kindness.
Every bottle of Foxy Times Gin tells that story: a story of friendship, purpose, and the belief that even the smallest gesture can make a difference.

€10,000 donated. Countless smiles created.
