Throughout the years of hosting guests and community, Cebu City Marriott Hotel has always taken to heart the brand values of Marriott Internatio­nal: taking care of its associates, taking care of its guests and serving the community.

In line with its global wellness campaign called Take Care, Cebu Marriott will be participat­ing in an Asia Pacificwid­e initiative entitled “Run to Give 2017” this Sept. 23. This effort will bring together all Marriott properties across the region to run for a cause, to build better community engagement, and of course, promote health and wellness. Furthermor­e, each Marriott property or cluster of properties will be choosing a beneficiar­y where proceeds of the charity run will best be utilized. For Cebu Marriott, it has chosen to partner with Rise Above Foundation, a non-profit organizati­on dedicated to help improve the quality of life for the poor and underprivi­leged by means of providing educationa­l opportunit­ies, livelihood training, and health and hygiene programs.
