Women In The Industry (WIN) Online Philanthropy Auction Doubles Its Goals
December 18, 2009 by Perspective Magazine | Timeshare & Fractional Reviews · Leave a Comment
Women in the Industry (WIN), an organization professionally supporting and cultivating women leaders of tomorrow in the vacation industry, has announced the results from its first online auction to support its philanthropic initiatives.
Co-President Cathy Backus says “the auction garnered over $10,000 to fund our 2010 philanthropy projects. The funds will be used in part to support Girls Inc. ‘Collegeship’ fund and will send four girls and two counselors to visit out-of-state colleges this spring. Our second major philanthropic efforts are directed toward Gal to Gal Foundation which supports those battling Fourth Stage Breast Cancer. Because of the generous contributions of our sponsors and those who bid on vacation weeks, three women and their families will have the opportunity to enjoy quality time by going on vacation!”
Organizations which donated to the online philanthropic endeavor included Bluegreen Vacations, Dial-an-Exchange, Festiva Resorts, Great Eastern Resorts, Hotel Playa Mar, ILX Resorts, ICE, Interval International, Island One Resorts, Leisure Link Universe, ResorTime.com, RCI, SFX Preferred Resorts, Shell Vacations, Tartan Management, Travel Advantage Network, Quarter House Resort, and Vacation Exchanges.
Bidding on top vacation locales was not limited to WIN Members alone. Members of WIN come from all backgrounds. They include individuals, resorts, recreational real estate developers, vacation clubs and funding/lending institutions. WIN also has members among the legal community as well as architects and other suppliers to the vacation industry.
While membership is not solely for women, the non profit organization is committed to fostering the growth of women in the shared ownership industry by connecting and mentoring them through charity, business, educational and networking events. Additionally the new group facilitates research in the vacation industry, organizes and implements community and philanthropic activities and promotes and recognizes women’s achievements in the vacation industry.
WIN’s cause is supported in part by individual memberships, corporate benefactors and friends among which are Bluegreen Corporation, C.A.R.E., Chicago Title, CSA Travel Protection, Group RCI, I.C.E., Marriott Vacation Club International, ResorTime.com, Resort Trades, Shell Vacations, Spirit Incentives, Ticor Title, Vacation Grand Getaways, and Wyndham Vacation Ownership.
The organization is holding its first regional meeting in Orlando, Florida from January 29-30, 2010. A national networking event will be held at the ARDA Spring Convention on March 16, 2010.
