Five years ago this week, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf region in one of the worst natural disasters in American history. To aid the ongoing recovery effort, Marriott is enabling each of their associates in the New Orleans market to apply a DonorsChoose.org gift card to a local classroom project of their choice. Sounds like a neat place to work, right?Even better, Marriott is making it even easier for local classrooms to receive essential learning materials by funding a Double Your Impact offer. If citizen philanthropists fund 50% of a qualifying project in Orleans Parish, Marriott will fund the remaining amount, bringing the project to life.Thank you Marriott, for your generosity towards those who need it most.Learn more about Marriott's Spirit to Serve.
