Charlotte,
NC (BlackNews.com) - Honor and Glory Executive Travel
Services, in partnership with Royal Caribbean International,
will sponsor the first annual Memorial Day Fundraiser Cruise
for the Make-A-Wish Foundation onboard the Royal Caribbean
Adventure of the Seas from May 24 to 31, 2009. Reservations
are now open for this fundraiser cruise, which provides a
perfect gift opportunity for loved ones.
The goal
of the 2009 Memorial Day Fundraiser Cruise is to raise $25,000
for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by reserving over 250 cabins
by March 5, 2009. The 2009 cruise offers a round-trip itinerary
from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and will visit the islands of
Antigua, Barbados, Barbuda, St. Croix, St. Lucia, and St.
Maarten on an exotic 7-night Southern Caribbean cruise. Well
appointed cabins are currently available at a great value,
and an airfare package and 4-star hotel pre-night stay are
being offered as well.
Alishah Kier, owner of Honor and Glory Executive
Travel Services, an independently affiliated travel agency of
America’s Vacation Center®, has focused a large portion of her
business on cruises for non-profit organizations and has spearheaded
several major fundraiser cruises with Royal Caribbean International
that have been phenomenally successful. Kier first became acquainted
with Royal Caribbean International’s dedication to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation during an onboard benefit auction and was inspired
to become involved and help this worthy cause.
“Often
parents give gifts that lose their excitement the very next
day. This fundraiser cruise opportunity is an excellent way
to give our children the lasting gift of compassion by providing
them the chance to take a vacation and help other children
with needs,” said Kier.
Kier
plans to organize Make-A-Wish Foundation Fundraiser Cruises
with Royal Caribbean International for the next five years
and hopes to raise at least $150,000 at the end of that process.
“We are
thrilled to be working with Alishah Kier who is a professional
travel expert and always well represents our brand. Kier has
developed a program that not only benefits the Make-A-Wish
Foundation with its fundraising efforts, but allows consumers
to enjoy a cruise vacation that enhances the lives of the
Make-A-Wish children,” said Vicki Freed, Senior Vice President
of Sales, Trade and Support Services for Royal Caribbean International.
