Staypineapple and wear blue: run to remember Join Forces Once Again
BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Staypineapple Hotels will donate $1 for every room night sold during November to wear blue: run to remember, to honor veterans active military, and their families.
Staypineapple is once again partnering with wear blue: run to remember to support their mission to honor the service and sacrifice of the American military through active remembrance.
Staypineapple is supporting the nonprofit by encouraging room bookings in November for any future date, with $1 being donated for every room night sold.
Both Staypineapple and wear blue: run to remember were founded by women in the Puget Sound Region and have expanded across the country over the past 10+ years. It is no accident the two organizations found each other.
"We are proud to once again support this wonderful organization. Their work in the community and commitment to honoring Veterans, active military, and their families is commendable. We hope to surpass our previous donation amount of $25K with the help of our loyal Staypineapple guests," says Steve Allison, Chief Revenue Officer.
In 2009 wear blue's co-founder, Lisa Hallet's husband - CPT John Hallet - was killed during an attack while deployed in Afghanistan. During that deployment, a small group of wives and battalion support staff met weekly to run, seeking to create a support network for one another. This small group became a nationwide vision that now helps thousands heal from and work through the more challenging aspects of military life during a time of war. Today, this group runs to honor all military members killed in combat and has evolved into a robust network of active duty and retired service members, military families, Wounded Warriors, Gold Star families, and community members.
