March 10th event proceeds to be donated to Habitat for Humanity
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON February 24, 2010 – In response to the devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Haiti, Vintage Hotels is determined to make a difference in the rebuilding of the country. The Niagara-on-the-Lake based hotel company announces a major fundraising event being held Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 in all 5 of its restaurants across Niagara-on-the-Lake, Caledon and Toronto, Ontario.
Vintage Hotels has committed to donating 100% of proceeds from this fundraising event to Habitat for Humanity Canada where the funds will be allocated to relief efforts in Haiti. All March 10th dinner sales from five restaurants will be donated. This fundraiser forges the bond between Vintage corporate, their clientele, and the community. Together, they are expected to contribute more than $10,000-$15,000 to Habitat for Humanity Canada.
“The Vintage Hotels fundraiser is unique in that it allows patrons the ultimate feel-good dining experience,” comments Vintage Hotels CEO Bob Jackson. “For one very important day, guests will enjoy four-diamond cuisine knowing that 100% of what they spend will go towards a very worthy cause. I think we all share a responsibility in supporting community whether it be in our backyard or in another country.” All monies raised will be used to support Habitat for Humanity Canada’s relief efforts in Haiti.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY CANADA
Habitat for Humanity Canada is a national, non-profit, faith-based organization working for a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. The mission of the organization is to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty. Habitat for Humanity Canada was founded in 1985, consists of over 50,000 volunteers and 73 affiliate organizations from coast to coast, and is a member of Habitat for Humanity International which spans 93 countries, has built over 300,000 homes, and is now building a new home every 10 minutes.
Damage from the January 12 earthquake in Haiti added yet another dimension to the already-crushing humanitarian crisis and poverty conditions faced by the Western hemisphere’s poorest country. Because of the great need, Habitat for Humanity is planning a multi-faceted response to help low-income families get into decent, secure housing as soon as possible. Given the scale of homes damaged and destroyed, a multi-year plan is in place for which funding assistance is needed in order to provide relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
