San
Diego, CA – June 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / Jeanette Bunn, President
and CEO of Travel
To Go, spoke on behalf of Send
Me On Vacation (SMOV) at AMDETUR’s Annual Convention held at the Sheraton
Hacienda del Mar Golf Resort & Spa Resort, Cabo San Lucas, MX from
June 18-20, 2014.

 Bunn,
an Advisory Board Member of SMOV and an active participant in the organization,
informed developers and other industry leaders of the opportunities to
become involved in Mexico and support the organization by providing much
needed vacations to breast cancer survivors from Mexico.
Send
Me On Vacation is a 501(c)(3) charity that provides vacations to women
with breast cancer who have undergone treatment and need a place to rejuvenate.
While there are many organizations assisting with the physical aspects
of breast cancer, SMOV focuses on “the end of the beginning or the first
day of the rest of the lives of the survivors.” Their mission is to use
the vacation as a transition from physical healing to emotional healing
by providing the opportunity for rejuvenation, renewal and reconnection
with loved ones. In 2013, SMOV, through the generosity of sponsors and
donations of vacations from resort developers, was able to send 18 survivors
on vacation.
Travel
To Go supports numerous community causes and national charities, in addition
to Send Me On Vacation, including Royal Family KIDS, The Wounded Warrior
Project, the San Diego Muscular Dystrophy Association, the YWCA, New Vista
Charitable Foundation and the Memorial Walk at the Bakersfield National
Cemetery. Travel To Go is the 2014 recipient of ARDA’s prestigious ACE
Excellence for Community Service award that honors those that have attained
the highest level of excellence in the resort industry and whose accomplishments
and dedication spur the industry to new heights.
About
Send Me On Vacation
Send
Me On Vacation’s (www.SendMeOnVacation.org)
vision is to create a platform for cancer survivors where those in need
(devastated by the costs of treatment) receive the opportunity to integrate
the process of emotional healing into their ‘Whole-listic’ recovery plan
to achieve optimum health. The organization believes that a vacation is
the catalyst to restoring, renewing and rejuvenating the body, mind and
spirit. Vacations are provided to survivors through corporate sponsorships,
vacation donations and fundraising efforts.
