Back To News/PR Index | | ResorTime Donates $2,500 to Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe | Non-Profit Wins Crowdsourced Giving Contest | “Thousands of people voted for the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe in our beCause Destination Matters giving contest,” says Renée Wagner, RRP, director of marketing at ResorTime. “Voting is held four times a year for community-nominated non-profit organizations. It’s one of the ways we embody our giving philosophy—’What Matters to You, Matters to Us.’” The enthusiastic response inspired Wagner to host a follow-up contest in which customers submitted photos and stories of their beloved family pets. The Aguilar family was chosen to join ResorTime for a vacation at Tahoe Beach & Ski Club in South Lake Tahoe, California, after sharing a photo of Oso, their miniature poodle, on the beach in Lake Tahoe. The family of four also presented the $2,500 check to Kara Carstensen, adoption specialist and community spay/neuter program manager at the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe. Local news channel KOLO covered the event.

Vacationers who use promo code K76VN will receive 10 percent off their vacation, and ResorTime will donate 10 percent to the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe. The
timeshare rental brand also launched a new beCause
Destination Matters contest and invites the public to submit their
favorite non-profit organizations for the next round of voting. Visit ResorTime.com/giving
