Roadshow Life: Making Connections Over Good Food and Good Deeds

If you know us you know we love good food! Each Roadshow event takes in to careful consideration a curated dining experience for our attendees and hotel partners.

Depending on the region we are in, of course, you may find yourself having a fine dining experience with us, or grazing on a beautiful mezze board or sampling a full plant-based meal to stuffing yourself with comfort food. One thing we know is no one walks away hungry from our Roadshow events! Food is one of our favorite experiences to bring you when you attend. There’s nothing like good conversation over good food!

You know what else we do well and love to do?
Give back.

Thanks to our generous hotel partners we have been able to auction off incredible travel packages at each of our recent Roadshows. Our fabulous meeting and event planner attendees then get the opportunity to bid on these travel packages during the travel showcase. Some of them are once in a life time trips!

The money from those auctions then goes to one of our favorite charities, Wine to Water, who this year, in a time of desperate need, has a fund to help people in Ukraine.

To date, in 2022, Retreats Resources has proudly raised and donated $42,000 for the Wine to Water Ukraine Fund! Thanks to our extremely giving family of hotel partners and meeting planners.

You make us proud every day we get to do something like this and give back.

To everyone who has joined us in 2022 so far…Thank you!

Florida Roadshow: Giving Back with Retreats Resources

Looking for another reason to join us for one of our Sunshine State showcases next week? Then maybe it’s time to let you in on our little secret: we love giving back!

From fundraisers leveraging our relationships in our hospitality community, to supporting free trade products and minority-owned businesses, we truly feel good when we do good! Aren’t you the same way?

One of the most important alliances we have made is our relationship with Wine to Water, founded in 2007 by CNN ‘Hero’ finalist, Doc Hendley. We’ve been at it for so long, they consider us a part of their family of Founders, and over the years, we’ve raised well over $100,000 through our lively travel package auctions.

Though they didn’t start out as a relief organization, Wine to Water has now been responsible for providing safe drinking water in many unforeseen natural disasters – from Haiti to the Bahamas, and even in Louisiana and Texas.

They have partnered with a relief organization in Ukraine and neighboring countries to supply and distribute 12,000 water filters to those who need them most. With water infrastructure and supply chains disrupted in the region, people depend on surface water from rivers, rain, or untreated sources. The portable, inexpensive water filters that W|W provides, give families and shelters a way to prevent waterborne illnesses, avoid dependencies on single use plastics and reduce more waste going to the massive piles of debris in this crisis.

Many of our big-hearted destination partners have donated some generous travel packages that we will be offering in a silent auction format, and 100% of the money raised will go directly to W|W and their efforts in Ukraine.

So bring your credit cards, and get ready to bid on destinations that are truly drool worthy, while supporting a worthy cause! You can’t bid if you are not there, so don’t waste another moment – register now for the Sunshine State Roadshow!

Tune in this week to see a spotlight on some of the destinations up for grabs!

Join us for showcases in Orlando, Tampa and Boca Raton and you’ll meet with these exciting destinations – some of the hottest, most talked about locations on this side of the globe.
