Sage Hospitality To Donate US$10 Per Room Night To Haiti Relief

PRESS RELEASE -- Hotels, 1/19/2010 7:52:28 AM
In response to the disaster in Haiti, Sage Hospitality has joined worldwide humanitarian efforts to support earthquake victims and is encouraging hotel guests to participate. Through January 31, all 54 Sage properties are donating US$10 per room night to the Red Cross for guests who book the Sage Relief Rate.

"Sage has always been dedicated to community issues and outreach. The earthquake in Haiti has affected many of our employees personally, some of whom have family witnessing the devastation firsthand," said Sage President and CEO Walter Isenberg. "We want to do our part to help and we hope our donation will not only assist the people of Haiti, but also inspire others to give."

In addition to the donations from room stays, Sage is encouraging participation and donation with other initiatives:

• Through the end of the month, guests will be encouraged to make individual donations to the Red Cross upon checking in to all Sage properties.
• Sage-owned Coco Key Water Resorts are also participating in relief efforts, with 1 percent of all food and beverage purchases donated to the Red Cross through the end of January.
• On January 26, Sage will hold "Sage Helps Haiti Day," a one-day event to generate community participation at all hotel locations. All Coco Key locations will also participate, offering $5 day passes if purchased before 5 p.m., with all proceeds going to the Red Cross.
