Maryland-Based Lodging Franchisor Named a 2011 Communitas Award Winner
Choice Hotels was recently named a 2011 Communitas Award Winner for its philanthropy efforts through the Choice Hotels Music initiative. The Communitas Awards Program honors businesses and organizations that excel in community service and social responsibility efforts, and unselfishly give of themselves and their resources to change how they do business to benefit their communities. This is the second year in a row that Choice Hotels has been named a Communitas Award winner.
The Choice Hotels Music initiative brings together the emotional power of music with great causes to raise awareness and funds like never before. Using the leading marketing and distribution channels of Choice Hotels, like ChoiceHotels.com, artists are given the rare opportunity to introduce their original music to millions of individuals and retain ownership of their works while driving donations from ChoiceHotels.com to leading signature non-profit organizations through song downloads.
At the time of the original award nomination, Choice Hotels had produced five songs and raised more than $42,000 for charities, including The Nature Conservancy, Rebuilding Together, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington & Baltimore, So Others Might Eat (SOME), and ServiceSource Foundation.
The award also comes as a result of the company's commitment to its Signature Cause Partner Rebuilding Together and its ongoing efforts to rehabilitate homes and help people in need as part of its "Room to Rebuild" program. Last year, Choice Hotels won a 2010 Communitas Award for a local Montgomery County Room to Rebuild community sponsored volunteer project.
