Courtyard & Residence Inn Calgary Airport and KidSport Calgary Announce SPREAD THE LOVE OF SPORT.
Courtyard & Residence Inn Calgary Airport to provide $10 for every room booked to KidSport Calgary with rates starting from $89.
Courtyard & Residence Inn Calgary Airport, two hotels located under one roof, located just south of the Calgary Airport, and KidSport Calgary & Area, a local social profit that supports low-income families to ensure that ALL kids can play the sport of their choice, announced a new partnership.
For every guest room booked under promo code WCH for stays between December 1, 2021 and January 9, 2022 at the Courtyard or Residence Inn Calgary Airport, ten dollars will be donated to KidSport Calgary.
“Every year we look at how we can give back to our community. This year we are delighted to work with KidSport Calgary,” said Martin Gilbert, General Manager. “This coincides perfectly with one of Marriott’s core values of Serve Our World.” This holiday season let's make sure that ALL kids can play in 2022. The reality is that cost keeps 1 in 3 Canadian kids out of organized sport. KidSport provides grants to help cover those costs to ensure that no kid is ever left watching from the sidelines.
“We are thrilled to see this great new partnership from the Courtyard and Residence Inn Calgary Airport,” noted Kevin Webster, CEO KidSport Calgary & Area – Calgary Flames Sports Bank. “As a local charity that is 100% community funded it is these partnerships that provide us the opportunity to bring sport to life for thousands of qualified kids each year. We look forward to promoting this new partnership as part of our annual Give the Gift of Sport campaign as we work to highlight the local businesses who choose to support our cause. Book your room and help us get local kids Back to Sport in 2022 and beyond!”
