"Not only is the event a first for us since the completion of our merger transaction, it also further underscores our commitment to ensure that the increased presence of our hotels in terms of footprint and associate strength continue to drive positive sustainable social and economic impact in the communities which we operate. Run to Give echoes with the mission of Marriott International's TakeCare movement, which we believe will lead the culture integration in the combined company; and reinforce our core values of putting people first."

In January 2016, Marriott launched a "TakeCare" movement in Asia Pacific providing resources and opportunities for associates to stay physically and spiritually healthy with an ultimate goal of improving the wellbeing and happiness of associates, while making a difference in the communities that Marriott International operates in.IMG 9621 B

Run to Give is unique in each location and the events were organized by different Marriott International properties in various locations; some collaborating for the first time to organize such a large-scaled event. Funds raised in each location benefited a local charity for maximum local relevance and a broader impact with wider reach.

Mr. Ugur Talayhan, Managing Director of The Astor Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Tianjin, The Westin Tianjin and Sheraton Tianjin Hotel said:" Caring for the community is an extremely important value for us. I am elated to see so many participants joining us, with generosity and love on their mind. We really hope those children who need help can benefit from this event."

Initiated in 2014 by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific under the 'Starwood Cares' umbrella as individual hotel charity runs, the inaugural event saw an overwhelming response of over 20,000 runners take part in 92 locations across Asia Pacific; raising a total of close to USD$228,000. In 2015, the run took on the official event name 'Run to Give' - chosen amongst close to 500 internal submission entries by Starwood Asia Pacific associates, best representing the spirit of the charity event.
