Giving back ~ Jeanette Bunn

By now, you probably know that at Travel To Go, our #1 motivation is “Making Dreams Come True”. One way we do this is by providing 5-Star service to our 50,000 members. Another way is by being involved in our community and donating charitable contributions and our personal time to several non-profit organizations.

 

As the co-president of Send Me On Vacation, whose mission is to provide much needed vacations to women with cancer who have undergone treatment and need a place to rejuvenate, I was very lucky to attend the latest SMOV retreat in June 2013 in Hawaii with a dozen participants. I was able to see first hand the incredible work our organization does and how it helps bring women back to a loving place and show them what life can be again. I was delighted to be a part of these women’s incredible journey of courage and I can’t wait to help plan more survivor vacations in the future.

 

Travel To Go also recently sponsored the Royal Family KIDS golf tournament in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. Royal Family KIDS is the nation’s leading network of volunteers, churches and professionals who work together to provide summer camps and mentoring programs for children ages 6 to12 who are in foster care. By sponsoring this golf tournament event, we were able to help raise enough money to fund a summer week of camp for more than 7000 kids. We were fortunate enough to be able to not only financially sponsor this event, but also offer an all-paid vacation package in Hawaii as one of the silent auction’s prizes during the charity dinner.

 

It’s organizations like Send Me On Vacation and Royal Family KIDS, who are so determined to improve the physical and mental well being of people in need, that keep us committed to giving back to our community over and over.
