Grand Pacific Resorts and Send Me On Vacation Gift a Vacation to a Family
Every year, Grand Pacific Resorts encourages its 80,000-strong Owner base to donate their week to a breast cancer survivor in partnership with Send Me On Vacation, a non-profit organization dedicated to gifting vacations to cancer survivors.
Grand Pacific Resorts created the Revive & Thrive Program, which gives Owners an opportunity to help transform the life of a family in need. The response has been overwhelming, with 22 weeks donated so far. For every donated week, Grand Pacific Resorts assists with additional costs like transportation, meals, and anything else the survivor may need in order for them to enjoy a completely carefree vacation.
When their efforts came to a sudden halt last March due to safety restrictions resulting from the pandemic, both organizations had to get creative in terms of their fundraising goals. Grand Pacific Resorts sponsored a virtual race in October of 2020, supplementing received donations with a $2,000 contribution to send two additional breast cancer survivors on vacation in 2021.
Grand Pacific Resorts and Send Me On Vacation are thrilled to announce that these gifted vacations have resumed once again. This year, they recently sent their first vacation recipient on a week-long stay at Grand Pacific Palisades in Carlsbad, California. The survivor, along with her husband and two children, described her family’s time there as restorative, saying she felt a sense of peace she hadn’t been able to feel in quite a while.

“We have a long-standing commitment to giving back to our communities, and I’m so proud that our Owners eagerly partner with us to benefit this cause,” said Renee Wanger, RRP, Senior Director of Marketing at Grand Pacific Resorts. “These women and their families have been through so much, and they deserve a vacation. Watching our Associates create an extra special welcome and week of rejuvenation is a reflection of our organization’s core values in action.”
