WALKING FOR A CAUSE

Grand Pacific Resorts is honored to partner with Christel House, a non-profit organization committed to providing educational opportunities to students in impoverished communities around the world. For the last two decades, we have participated in a variety of initiatives to support Christel House, from providing internships to hosting annual golf tournaments. However, with the many changes that have taken place in our world, we’ve had to find innovative ways to stay involved with the cause. Over the past year, we helped to purchase laptops for every high schooler at Christel House in Mexico City and also participated in a walka-thon to raise enough money to cover the cost of WiFi in the students’ homes while they participated in distance learning. For six weeks in April, our Associates organized into teams then walked, jogged, biked, and exercised as they worked towards their collective goal of logging 15,940 fundraising miles to raise $350,000! The walk-a-thon provided an opportunity for Grand Pacific Resorts Associates to participate and connect with a cause that we have all been passionate about for years.
