Feeling Charitable?

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 by Lindsay Gill

I have recently had the pleasure of partnering with two great organizations in the hopes of helping others.  The first is Ovar'Coming Together, Indiana's nonprofit ovarian cancer education and resource organization.  The second is the Muscular Distrophy Association.

September 26, 2009 will mark the 2009 Ovarian Cancer Run & Walk benefitting Ovar'Coming Together.  The event begins at Victory Field at 9am.  You or your company/organization can help by donating, registering to walk or volunteering.  Our Indianapolis downtown hotel is helping by raising awareness by adding symptom cards to our employee's paychecks, displaying flyers at the Front Desk, wearing the teal wristbands from the organization.  Also, we are offering discount hotel rooms for the run & walk.  $10 per room night will be donated to Ovar'Coming Together.

The Muscular Distrophy Association is holding their annual lockup again!  I will be removed from my hotel on Thursday, August 27 and taken to "jail" for GOOD.  In order to be released, I need to make bail.  I'm asking friends, family, guests and business partners to help bail me out and donate to MDA.  In this economy, we all have a better hold on our cash, which means there are less people donating to organizations like this.  Luckily, small donations go a long way!  Help me help Jerry's Kids by stopping by my site and donating today!

Do you donate to any charities?  If you are passionate about a charity and would like to let us know how Indianapolis area hotels can help, please comment on this post!
