2019 Dare Conference
Giving Back
Granting Wishes
In 2011, the world’s largest cruise agency and award-winning leisure travel company World Travel Holdings forged a partnership identifying Make-A-Wish® as its signature charity. Since then, the travel company has raised more than $100,000 each year, and in 2018 reached a fundraising milestone exceeding $1 million in donations and granting more than 100 wishes to children with critical illnesses.
“My brother Jeff and I believe in the importance of instilling a strong corporate culture of giving back and because of our shared values and the fact that more than 75 percent of wishes involve travel, Make-A-Wish proved to be a natural fit,” said Brad Tolkin, Co-CEO/Chairman of World Travel Holdings. “I am in awe of how our employees have rallied together around one cause and shown support year-after-year.”
Exceeding our Goal
The goal for this year's National Conference for Cruises Inc., CruiseOne, and Dream Vacations, the home-based arm of World Travel Holdings, was $120,000. Throughout the conference several events and a silent auction were held to raise funds. As of this writing the total raised was $136,000.
I'm proud to be a part of this corporate initiative to make wishes come true for children with critical illnesses. Watch this video to learn more about Make-A-Wish and visit their website.
