Classic Hotels & Resorts<\/strong><\/a> (CH&R), a family-owned and operated hotel collection, with seven properties and more than 1,100 employees across Arizona and California, has launched its Healthcare Heroes campaign. The initiative will donate 500 room nights (in 2-night packages) to 250 recipients in the healthcare field currently fighting on the front lines of COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by President John Grossman and his wife Virginia (Ginna), CH&R’s goal is to provide hope and well-deserved R&R to those whose selfless actions are savings lives in the midst of this pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to give back, we want to give our healthcare heroes something to look forward to,\u201d says Ginna. \u201cIt is my hope that people near and far will nominate their own local healthcare heroes \u2013 by sharing their stories along with a video or photo. When this is all over, it will be our privilege and honor to invite those who are laying it all on the line for us right now to come stay at a property of their choosing \u2013 tons of TLC included.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of these team members have been with us for decades,\u201d said John. In a recent letter to the entire family of CH&R employees, John wrote: \u201ceach of these hotels is just four walls and a roof. Our family of associates makes it a home with a beating heart \u2013 a place where kind strangers are welcomed, and memories made.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
