FRIENDSHIP FORGED BY A PASSION TO HELP For the first time ever, Courtyard by Marriott celebrated “gamechanging friendship” by awarding the opportunity of a lifetime to wake up inside the stadium on Super Bowl Sunday. This year’s winner, Denise Ammon, exemplifies the impact that an extraordinary friendship can have in pursuing both personal and professional passions. Ammon’s “game-changing friendship” submission featured her former fellow co-residents whom she met during emergency medicine residency at a Level 1 Trauma hospital in Brooklyn, New York. She credits her success to their unrelenting friendship, after she was told by college counselors that she wasn’t cut out to be a doctor. Ammon went on to attend medical school in New Orleans and ultimately matched to one of her top choices for residency training. The group supported each other during the most strenuous days in residency and continue to guide each other today while serving as emergency room doctors across the country.

Denise Ammon’s “game-changing friendship” earned her and her friends the opportunity of a lifetime: waking up in a custom-built Courtyard by Marriott guestroom, shown here, in the Super Bowl stadium. As the winner of the Courtyard Super Bowl Sleepover contest, Ammon and her friends will be the first guests at the stadium on Super Bowl Sunday.
