On Thur 1 March 2007, Rendezvous Hotels & Resorts International launched an exciting new sponsorship partnership with Children's Cancer Institute Australia (CCIA).
By choosing to Rendezvous, guests are supporting CCIA's vision to save the lives of all children with cancer, and eliminate their suffering through world class medical research.
At the end of each guest's stay at any Australian Rendezvous or Marque Hotel, a discretionary $1.00 is added to their bill. This money goes towards Children's Cancer Institute Australia's research into the causes, prevention, better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for childhood cancer.
In the first year of the sponsorship program, Rendezvous guests generously donated a total of $67,646 for CCIA. In 2008, we hope to reach our target of $100,000. To track our progress, please view the thermometer to the right (updated at the end of each month.)
Please note that 100% of these donations are passed directly to CCIA - no portion of funds collected are retained by Rendezvous Hotels & Resorts International.
Prior to the 1960s, the survival rate for children with cancer was less than 2%. Thanks to enormous advances in medical research, the survival rate for childhood cancer has risen to 70% today. With the help of Rendezvous Hotels & Resorts International and our guests, Children's Cancer Institute Australia is working to improve the survival rate even further.
Guests who would not like to donate $1.00 to Children's Cancer Institute Australia are asked to notify the Reception staff upon check-out, where the discretionary $1.00 will be removed from their account.
