Aruba Marriott resort donate profits of ICare Walk to a local elementary school for special children

PALM BEACH, ARUBA (OCTOBER 29, 2013) – In the week of October 26 – November 1, Marriott Sales teams worldwide are celebrating Global Customer Appreciation Week (GCAW), thanking their local and international clients for their business and support.

In conjunction with the GCAW, the Aruba Marriott Resort Sales, Marketing and Reservations team organized a 5 km ICare walk and run on Saturday October 26 at 6:30 am. Close to 200 participants signed up for the fun walk including local runners, Marriott associates and guests. Together with the Marriott Care Foundation, the team decided to donate the profits to local school “Duna un Man”, a local elementary school for special children. With these funds they will be able to build a playground at the school with special toys.

Participants received a special T-shirt and fitness towel with the logo ICare as a token of appreciation and had a chance to win great door prizes.

A big thank you to all participants and everyone who donated to Scol Duna un Man.

The Aruba Marriott team looks forward to see you at the next fun walk/run.
