Mount Gay Rum Is Giving Away A Trip To Barbados, But There’s A Catch – Mashed

This Getaway to Give Back sweepstakes puts a big emphasis on the “give back” portion, so who exactly is 4ocean? According to the organization’s Forbes profile, the company sells $20 bracelets made from recycled plastic and uses the profits to hire local cleanup crews around the world to remove 1 pound of trash from the ocean for every bracelet sold. (The assumption is that during your sweepstakes trip, you would be a part of one of these cleanup crews and get a free trip to Barbados out of it.) 4ocean is a legitimate company; however, it is worth noting that it isn’t a nonprofit. Still, the for-profit organization is honestly removing trash from the ocean and doing some good at the same time, donating 1% of its profits to environmental causes (via Outside Business Journal).

So, if you don’t mind getting your hands a little dirty, now might just be the perfect time to try your luck and enter the Mount Gay and TripAdvisor sweepstakes. At best, you get a trip to Barbados. At worst, nothing.
