Although Thanksgiving is not a holiday traditionally celebrated by Jamaicans, Couples Resorts is still embracing the spirit of giving this November, by launching a special social media fundraiser designed to help kids throughout the country.
For every person that becomes a fan of Couples Resorts’ Chief Romance Officer on Facebook, decides to be follower of Couples Resorts on Twitter, registers as a member of the Couples Resorts message board, or subscribes to Couples Resorts’ YouTube channel, Couples Resorts will donate $1 in their honor to the Issa Trust Foundation*.
“Our goal is to donate $5,000 to the Issa Trust Foundation, meaning we will need to gain about 166 fans, followers and members each day during the month of November,” said Randy Russell, Senior Vice President and Chief Romance Officer®.
“In 2005, we began this non-profit
foundation as a way to give back to the local Jamaican communities that have supported us
with such incredible staff members for the past 31 years. Fundraisers like this social media
initiative help us to continue that mission. Join us
today!
About the Issa Trust Foundation
The Issa Trust Foundation is a non-profit charity organization dedicated to enhancing the quality
of life among Jamaica’s youth.
Each year all four of the Couples Resorts properties in Negril
and Ocho Rios organize multiple programs to donate time and funds to the resorts’ local
communities. In developing this particular fundraiser, Couples Resorts is hoping to encourage
past, current and prospective guests to become more excited about helping the youth of
Jamaica.
The mission of the Issa Trust Foundation is to provide a system of prevention, health promotion,
education and other services to promote the well-being and development for the people of
Jamaica. By conducting annual medical missions and supplying school materials ranging from
basic pencils and paper to computers and libraries the Issa Trust Foundation strives to create a
safe, nurturing and healthy environment for families and provide children with a foundation in
basic skills.
