ResortQuest Participates in the Spirit of Giving
ResortQuest presents the Red Cross with a check for $10,000 to help families still recovering from the devastation of the 2008 Hurricane Season.
Fort Walton Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 26, 2008 -- With hurricane season in the rearview mirror and storms Ike and Gustav long since passed, ResortQuest still hasn't closed its doors to storm evacuees. On Monday, just a few days before Thanksgiving, ResortQuest of Northwest Florida presented the Red Cross with a check for $10,000 for hurricane relief efforts in areas where the storms hit.
ResortQuest Presents Check to Red Cross
This past fall, during tropical storms Gustav and Ike, many residents of Northwest Florida's neighboring states including Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama found themselves evacuating their homes. With such a large radius where the storms could hit, folks from Alabama all the way to Texas were trying to find places to stay. As one could guess, the availability of lodging in hotels and motels filled up quickly. That's when ResortQuest opened its doors to storm evacuees with a region wide campaign dispersed through e-mail, Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Chambers of Commerce of neighboring states. Evacuees were provided a special arrangement which offered discounted rates and allowed pets to stay in every vacation rental. ResortQuest housed thousands of guests during the storms and received gratuitous feedback from many evacuees, one claimed, "I felt so safe knowing I had a friendly, comfortable place to go to during such a stressful time."
"Our goal is to service our guests to the fullest while giving back to the community - and not just the Northwest Florida community," said Lino Maldonado, ResortQuest Vice President. "Providing evacuees with a place to stay was the first step and this donation is a follow-up to make sure our guests are doing well at home."
ResortQuest has earned itself a reputation as a company that is committed to the community. This year alone, ResortQuest has raised $7,500 for the American Cancer Society, $10,000 for the American Heart Association and $25,000 for the United Way. This week, when finding something to be thankful for, you can add this 'spirit of giving' to your list.
In addition to offering the largest selection of Destin Condo rentals, ResortQuest also manages hundreds of vacation condo rentals on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach, Beaches of South Walton, Panama City Beach, Navarre Beach and Perdido Key as well as many luxurious private homes in Destin and Beaches of South Walton. ResortQuest also manages quality vacation rentals in neighboring Orange Beach and Gulf Shores along Alabama's beautiful Gulf Coast.
