Travel Advantage Network raises funds in support of Share Our
Strength(R)
MILLERSVILLE, Md., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Travel Advantage
Network (TAN), a nationwide leader in wholesale vacation accommodations,
has joined in the fight against hunger in Myanmar through its support of
Share Our Strength. TAN recently raised close to $1,000 for Share Our
Strength, through fundraising activities including a garage sale, employee
theme days and games, bracelet sales, raffles and other activities that
influenced employee participation towards this worthy cause. In the spirit
of the fight against hunger, employees also sold orange ribbons to coincide
with this year's National Hunger Awareness Day. Donations will support
Share Our Strength's efforts to provide food to the citizens of Myanmar.
"Each month a different TAN employee initiates events that support a
worthy cause," said TAN President Brad Callahan. "Their community
commitment and dedication to reaching out to those in need is what makes
our employees unique. We have a very special family here that we are proud
to call TAN."
"TAN employees recently helped Share Our Strength provide critical food
relief in Myanmar. Their efforts also helped increase awareness of hunger
overseas and here at home," said Margie Fleming Glennon, Share Our
Strength's Communications Director. "We applaud the ongoing efforts of
TAN's employees to help those in need, and we are grateful to have been
selected as a receiving charity."
TAN's support of Share Our Strength was lead by Shelly Chamberlin, who
organized the group activities which resulted in the funds raised. TAN
employees rotate each month by choosing an organization they wish to
support; then fellow employees enthusiastically rally behind that
organization.
In addition to their support of Share Our Strength, since January 2008,
TAN employees have raised and donated thousands of dollars to help in the
fight against muscular dystrophy, congenital heart defects, autism,
arthritis and juvenile alopecia.
