Hilton Grand Vacations announced that they have one again partnered with the American Red Cross for its third annual “Early Giving Day” fundraiser. This campaign supports the Red Cross’s disaster relief efforts. Hilton Grand Vacations will be matching donations dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 on March 19.
In 2023, the US experienced a historic number of weather-related disasters with damages totaling over $92 billion. Not only were these events devastating for the economy, but also caused families to suffer from injuries, illness, and loss of their homes and possessions. The American Red Cross responds to an emergency every eight minutes by sending out a team that can provide resources for those impacted by disaster.
“At Hilton Grand Vacations, we’re committed to stepping up to support the communities in which we live, work and vacation,” said Mark Wang, president and CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. “The Red Cross is always ready to mobilize a team in crisis situations. It’s an honor to support our long-term partner and help them continue to create positive change and resilience in communities across our nation.”
Michael D. Brown, regional CEO of the American Red Cross of Central Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands, also commented:
“The Red Cross is responding to nearly twice as many large disasters as we did a decade ago to help families and communities struggling with more frequent and intense disasters. Last year’s onslaught of extreme weather events is an example of why it’s so critical for us to have the resources and support in place to meet emerging needs – which is only possible with the generous support of donors like Hilton Grand Vacations.”
