Four Points by Sheraton Needs Your Non-Creepy Halloween Costumes
October 1, 2008 at 6:24 PM | 0 Comments
We all know about Christmas toy drives, but Four Points by Sheraton brings a twist to the doing-good field. Four Points has asked guests, hotel staff and communities to drop off new Halloween costumes to be donated to local children's hospitals. The program launched last year and resulted in hundreds of costumes donated to children's hospitals across the country.
Do note they ask for costumes "light hearted in nature," so no creepiness or serial killer masks, please. And costumes must be in their original packaging -- this isn't the time to go green by recycling your kid's Spiderman costume from last year.
We think this is a sweet idea - what kid doesn't like Halloween? And it lets those of us with puppies instead of children still take part in costume-shopping fun.
Visit the Four Points web site for a list of participating hotels.
[Ed Note: This reminds us: you can go ahead and donate that costume you bought, because you can probably use clothes already in your home closet to dress up as the Chief Beer Officer! We hear you don't even need a badge.]

Fairmont Fit Sending Shoes to the Needy

The Fairmont Fit program has been up and guests have been running since the start of 2007 in most Fairmont Hotels. With plenty of Fairmont President's Club members happily borrowing or buying athletic gear so they can keep fit while staying at a Fairmont, they've decided to go one step further and turn the whole program into a touchy-feely donation thing too.
