Volunteers for Walk-A-Thon to Raise Money for Christel House
For over two decades and through a variety of initiatives ranging from hosting golf tournament fundraisers to providing internship opportunities, Grand Pacific Resorts has helped support Christel House, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping break the cycle of poverty for kids around the world.
During the Christel House Walk-a-Thon, this year Associates walked, jogged, biked, and exercised to help raise awareness for the cause. They organized into teams, held friendly competitions, and set fundraising goals.
“Walking is the best medicine for me. I’ve found that if we want to walk fast, we walk alone, but if we want to walk far, we need to walk together. By doing so, we can accomplish anything while building a culture of inclusion and trust,” said Abby Escalante, Grand Pacific Resorts Associate and Walk-a-Thon participant.
Associates logged a total of 1,905 miles and collectively raised $40,873, enough to provide 15 students at Christel House with a full year of educational essentials like books, uniforms, school supplies, lunches and snacks, transportation to and from school, healthcare, college and career counseling, and parent programs.
“I’m so proud of our Associates who remain committed to the causes that we as a company have been passionate about for years,” said Grand Pacific Resorts Co-President David Brown. “It’s exciting watching our team come together to chip in for the common good, and we look forward to our next challenge, to raise money in support of the technology programs at Christel House Mexico City.”
