Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) November 22, 2011
Gaylord Hotels has joined the U.S. Marine Corps in its efforts to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas. The Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, which delivers new toys at Christmas with the intent of imparting a message of hope, is the featured Rooms for Good charity in December and will receive 10 percent of proceeds raised through a special package rate available at all four Gaylord Hotels properties.
Christmas is a magnificent celebration at each of our hotels, said Amy Atkinson, vice president of marketing and public relations, Gaylord Hotels. But beyond the lights and decorations, the core of this holiday is about giving. We hope that our Rooms for Good package guests will feel proud that theyre helping to fill not just the stockings and toy chests of kids across the country but more importantly, their hearts. These children dont have much, and receiving a gift doesnt only provide joy, it inspires hope.
Partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps allows Gaylord Hotels to focus on giving back to our communities during the holiday season, added Atkinson. Through our Rooms for Good program we have been able to reach people in need through many different avenues, and we are proud to incorporate the Toys for Tots program into our already exciting Christmas season.
The Rooms for Good package rate starts at $ 179* per couple, per night, based on availability. It includes one nights accommodations at one of the four Gaylord Hotels resorts, which are located in the Washington, D.C. metro area; just outside of Orlando, Fla., in Kissimmee; in Nashville, Tenn.; and in the Dallas/Ft. Worth-area. Decembers Toys for Tots program will also include an exclusive military rate, starting a $ 139* per couple for active and retired military (proper identification required at check-in).
Rooms for Good is a co-operative marketing and fundraising program that benefits a different charitable organization each month. In addition to raising money for non-profit organizations, Gaylord Hotels raises awareness of the cause through its advertising, public relations and social media platforms.
