Dressing Down For Charity
By Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - When Sheraton Utama Hotel associates were told they could go to work in casual attire by paying $5 each to the Starwood Associates Relief Fund, a large number of them jumped at the chance.

Starwood Associates Relief Fund, which is a global Starwood hotels and resorts initiative, is an ongoing campaign that provides Starwood associates who may face unexpected hardship due to situations or events outside their control. Sheraton Utama Hotel has pledged to assist in collecting funds from its associates for the charity.

The campaign, which ends on December 2, has so far been well-received. Praises have also been flooding in from in-house guests who were impressed with the hotel's efforts to raise money for the relief fund. A number of activities have been organised for the campaign including "Star Finder" where two representatives from each department are sent to search for hidden stars, which have been pledged with monetary value by heads of departments. Associates who are car owners are also entitled to a car wash at $3, organised by a team fromthe Sheraton Sports and Social Club.

There will be a charity bazaar tomorrow at the hotel from 10 am until 2 pm. Items on sales are contributed by associates of the hotel, and all proceeds will go to the Starwood Associates Relief Fund.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
