In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Mainsail Lodging & Development hosted fundraising events at six of their hotels across Florida and Georgia on October 17th and 18th. The initiative raised a total of $13,500 to support those impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Participating Hotels Raise Funds and Awareness
Guests at EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Lounge (Epicurean Hotel, Tampa), Hi-Fi Rooftop Bar (Fenway Hotel, Dunedin), and Beacon Social Drinkery (Luminary Hotel & Co., Fort Myers) in Florida rallied to the cause. Georgia also saw a strong showing of support with Hightales Rooftop Bar (Hotel Forty Five, Macon), Oliver’s Twist Bar & View (Trilith Guesthouse, Fayetteville), and The Office Bar (Epicurean Atlanta, Midtown) joining the efforts.
Funds Reach Those in Need
The collected donations will be directed towards two impactful organizations. $10,000 will be allocated to the American Red Cross, whose tireless work included operating shelters, providing meals, and offering essential services across Florida. An additional $3,500 is designated for Giving Kitchen, a dedicated non-profit supporting food service workers affected by the storms.
Mainsail: A Committed Partner in Recovery
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our communities and guests,” said Joe Collier, President & Founder of Mainsail Lodging & Development. “The American Red Cross and Giving Kitchen align perfectly with our values of service and community. We’re honored to contribute to their vital efforts in aiding our neighbors and the hospitality industry during this critical time.”
This initiative marks the third consecutive year Mainsail has organized fundraising events following hurricanes. Their dedication extends beyond financial aid, as evidenced by the 2022 large-scale community rally hosted by Luminary Hotel & Co. in Fort Myers after Hurricane Ian.
