HOTELS FOR HOPE: A new Barrett-Jackson partnership with a purpose

In early 2017, Barrett-Jackson announced a partnership with Hotels for Hope to help raise money for the American Heart Association. Fans traveling to Barrett-Jackson events can book rooms through Barrett-Jackson.com and Hotels for Hope will donate $2 of every actualized hotel room night booked to the American Heart Association.
“Our company was founded on the principles of giving back to the community,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “By teaming up with Hotels for Hope, we’re giving our fans another avenue to support a worthy cause each time they book a hotel room for one of our events at Barrett-Jackson.com.”
Hotels for Hope is an Austin, Texas-based RoomFunding brokerage and technology company. RoomFunding, similar to crowdfunding, crowdsources enough room nights to fund a nonprofit project. Hotels for Hope has partnered with more than 600,000 hotels across the country, which allows guests to save close to 25 percent off the best available rates. Their robust technology also manages every aspect of the hotel booking process, including room block management, group requests and inventory.
“We’re proud to make the American Heart Association the benefactor of our Hotels for Hope program,” Jackson added. “We chose to support the AHA because we believe in its dedication to fighting the debilitating effects of cardiovascular disease. Many of us know someone who has suffered from a heart attack or stroke, and Hotels for Hope empowers us all to help AHA’s efforts to fund research, fight for stronger public health policies and provide critical tools and information to save and improve the lives of our friends and loved ones.”
Some of the RoomFunding projects that have already benefited from Hotels for Hope include Special Olympics Texas, The NY Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund, Rotary International, Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee and Foundations of Music.
