Aug. 30, 2011
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - In the spirit of giving during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Rosewood hotels in Riyadh, Al Faisaliah Hotel and Hotel Al Khozama, have pledged their support of the Disabled Children’s Association with the launch of “Make a Change to a Child’s Future” charity campaign to raise money and awareness of this worthy cause. The campaign runs for three months, until 1st November.
Running throughout the 13 restaurants of both hotels, the campaign offers guests the opportunity to donate SR5/- or more for the Disabled Children’s Association. Guests staying at both hotels will also have the opportunity to donate when checking out. Established in 1982, the Association runs a number of care centres throughout the Kingdom, helping disabled children to learn new skills and become more independent in their lives.
“Rosewood Hotels is an active participant in local community life, and it is our privilege to contribute to worthy causes. Through the campaign with Disabled Children’s Association, we hope to contribute to the establishment of new care centres in addition to recruiting qualified professionals to work in the centres,” said Peter Finamore, Managing Director of Al Faisaliah Hotel.
