In line with the Year of Giving, Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham JBR reinforces its philanthropic activities over the summer period by joining the #StrikeOutALS campaign, and reaching out to UAE Red Crescent.

Made popular by the global Ice Bucket Challenge, the hotel helped raise funds for the #StrikeOutALS campaign to promote awareness on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Select team members carried out the fun challenge and collected donations to support the ongoing research on the disease.

 

The hotel also extended aid to Emirates Red Crescent by handing over boxes of clothes, which were donated by the associates. Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham pledged continuous support to the organisation’s advocacy in helping less fortunate groups and individuals within and outside the UAE.    

Samer Rafie, hotel manager, commented: “Our team will continue its mission to give back to the community, even after the Year of Giving. We aim to convey the message that every altruistic initiative, no matter how simple or small, can make a difference for those in need. All we have to do is reach out to the right organisations and express our intentions to help.”
