At each of the 32 participating hotels, guests and members of the local community will be invited to donate to Variety through a number of initiatives such as collections in the hotels, charity fundraising events and other staff-driven activities.
September will also see a number of fundraising activities nationally as that is the Group’s 10th annual Responsible Business Action Month.
