"Our associates work all year long to support CMN hospital patients through many initiatives including fundraising and in-kind hotel rooms, to make a difference in the lives of children and families across the country," said Don Cleary, President of Marriott International in Canada. "This national initiative is just one example of our continued commitment to CMN, by our Business Councils and associates here in Canada, and around the world."
Marriott International Business Councils are made up of General Managers and associates across all Marriott International hotel brands and business functions in Canada. Banding together, they work on common challenges that they can collectively address for a stronger community impact.
"I am delighted to be the Chair of the Toronto Area Business Council team, hosting 10 outpatient families across our hotels," said Catherine Velie, General Manager of Delta Toronto, in her capacity as Chair of the Marriott International Toronto Business Council. "It's an inspiring event on so many levels. The Hotel Stays for the Holidays event helps build and strengthen a community of people who support our local hospitals. Everyone can do a little something to help, something as simple as coming in and purchasing a cookie from our 'milk and cookies initiative'. And, all the funds we raise are kept local, helping Toronto area kids and their families meet health challenges."
"As an extremely valued partner of Children's Miracle Network in Canada since 1983, Marriott International Inc. has generously donated to ensure thousands of Canadian children have a better, brighter future," said Mark Hierlihy, President and CEO of Canada's Children's Hospital Foundations, the non-profit which runs Children's Miracle Network in Canada. "With every dollar raised, Marriott is making a personal impact in the lives of Canadian children and helping us achieve our ultimate vision – if we change the health of children, we will change the health of Canada."
You can help support CMN hospitals across Canada. During the month of December, many Marriott International Hotels across the country will be selling cookies with all profits being donated to support pediatric hospitals and wards across Canada.
Marriott International believes in making the communities where we operate better places to live, work, and visit. As a part of Marriott's sustainability and social impact platform Serve 360, we mobilize our guests and associates to provide support for the wellbeing of children through the Children's Miracle Network. Since 1983 Marriott International has raised over $130 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across Canada and the US. Marriott International holds the honourable distinction of being Children's Miracle Network Hospitals' longest standing corporate partner. Its associates and guests raise these funds through golf tournaments, galas, hotel campaigns, and conducting unique fundraising events at individual properties.
