Marriott International has raised more than US$347,000 through its annual charity event, Road to Give, to support charitable organisations across Asia-Pacific.
Road to Give encourages Marriott International associates to support meaningful local causes while engaging in different types of movement for their physical and mental well-being – running, walking, dancing and golfing were just some of the activities organised this year.

More than 21,000 associates from Marriott International hotels volunteered almost 50,000 hours in the ninth edition of Road to Give, with all proceeds donated to support local causes such as providing educational support to children at local orphanages and disadvantaged backgrounds; food donations to low-income communities; cleft surgery to children; medical care to patients with cancer and kidney-related diseases; and more.
“We are proud to see our hotels stepping up their Road to Give fundraising efforts this year! We raised almost US$100,000 more than the previous year, representing our associates’ dedication and passion to make the communities where they operate better places to live, work and visit,” said Andrew Newmark, chief human resources officer, Marriott International, Asia Pacific (excluding China).
“As we look forward to Road to Give’s ten-year milestone next year, I am incredibly excited to see what lies ahead in terms of how we strive to make even stronger, positive impact in our local communities.”
