Giving for Good at Crowne Plaza Limassol.

What is Giving for Good?

Giving for Good month is a fantastic way for colleagues to come together and contribute towards IHG’s Journey to Tomorrow commitment. By 2030, we want to improve the lives of 30 million people in communities around the world.

Giving for Good month is part of IHG’s flagship programme for communities and charitable giving. It’s about team members from IHG franchised and managed hotels doing their part, from volunteering and taking care of the environment. This September the Crowne Plaza Limassol embraced the opportunity to get involved!

Team spirit resonated at this year’s Giving for Good Events at Crowne Plaza Limassol

Firstly, we would like to thank every team member for playing an active part in this year’s IHG GIVING FOR GOOD September campaign. As a result of your efforts, we broke last year’s contribution record. Go team!

Charity Games Fundraiser

We organized a variety of charity games with prizes including bingo, darts, billiards and a beach party to inspire charitable giving. The team raised €395 for charity for these activities. Furthermore, the hotel matched the amount, and €790 in total was donated to Cyprus Association of Cancer Patients and Friends (PASYKAF). The PASYKAF charity provide services and support to cancer patients and their families all over Cyprus.

Clothes Collection

We collected clothing, shoes and accessories throughout the month of September. In addition to the monetary donation described above, the 12 bags of clothes we collected were also donated to the Cyprus Association of Cancer Patients and Friends (PASYKAF).

Beach Cleaning

Our annual Beach Clean was especially successful this year. It took place at our hotel beach and we collected a record 15 bags (105kg) of rubbish. Moreover, the active participation of members from all our departments was fantastic. All this was accomplished in partnership with TUI and the Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative (CSTI). The motto this year was ‘keep our sea and sand plastic free’.

Blood Donation

Blood banks in Cyprus have been struggling in recent years because of the imbalance with supply and demand. Therefore, this September we organized another successful blood donation at the hotel. Notably, 23 people participated in the blood drive, and 11.5 litres of blood were subsequently collected for the Limassol General Hospital.

Giving for Good Fundraising with our Guests

Last but not least, we undertook a monetary collection for the local ‘Hope for children’ charity.  As a result, the team collected €200. The hotel management then matched the amount and €400 was ultimately donated to the charity. At  ‘Hope For Children’  they dedicate themselves to improving the lives of vulnerable children around the world.
