Nashville, TN (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

Gaylord Hotels will help provide a “home away from home” for members of the U.S., military and their families through its partnership with the Fisher House Foundation this November. As the featured Rooms for Good charity in November, the Fisher House Foundation will receive 10 percent of proceeds raised through a special package rate available at all four Gaylord Hotels properties.

“Gaylord Hotels STARS are proud and honored to be able to help the families of our military in this way,” said Amy Atkinson, vice president of marketing and public relations, Gaylord Hotels. “We created our Rooms for Good program so that we could benefit a variety of important charities while conducting our business each month. Assisting the families of those who protect our freedom hits close to home for many of us.”

The Fisher House Foundation provides housing to the families of military men and women who are hospitalized because of an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. With at least one Fisher House at every major military medical center throughout the country, the program servers more than 12,000 families every year, and has to-date made available more than 3.5 million days of lodging to family members since the program launched in 1990. Constantly growing, the Fisher House Foundation constructs new homes, continues to support existing Fisher Houses, and helps military families in need. The Foundation also administers and sponsors Scholarships for Military Children, the Hero Miles program, and is co-sponsor of the Newman’s Own Award.

The Rooms for Good package rate starts at $179* per couple/per night, based on availability. It includes one night’s accommodations at one of Gaylord Hotels’ four resorts, located in the Washington, D.C. metro area; just outside of Orlando, Fla., in Kissimmee; in Nashville, Tenn.; and in the Dallas/Ft. Worth-area.

Rooms for Good is a co-operative marketing and fundraising program that features a different charity each month. In addition to raising money for non-profit organizations, Gaylord Hotels raises awareness of the cause through its advertising, public relations and social media platforms.
