Virgin Voyages is celebrating Giving Tuesday by paying it ahead and honoring native healthcare heroes with the holiday of a lifetime, the corporate stated, in a press launch.
For the second consecutive yr, the South Florida-based journey and life-style model is partnering with Baptist Health South Florida and donating 2,023 complimentary voyages – totaling an estimated $5.9 million – for deserving workers to ring within the new yr with their mates and family members.
“For the past three years, our local healthcare workers put everything on the line to care for the community, and now it’s our turn to pay it forward,” stated Jill Stoneberg, Virgin Voyages’ Senior Director of Sustainability and Social Impact. “We’ve turned a corner, and we’d love to offer our frontline workers a much-deserved break. The Virgin Voyages team is honored to give our friends at Baptist an incredible vacation on the high seas where they can unplug and escape for a few days.”
In celebration of the brand new yr forward, the two,023 gifted sailings will acknowledge workers within the Baptist Health community who’ve made a constructive impression within the native healthcare group, from patient-facing workers to these in behind-the-scenes roles that maintain the hospitals, clinics and places of work operating easily, the corporate stated.
Winners will obtain a voyage for 2 in a Sea Terrace, a classy balcony cabin with enjoyable temper lighting, rainfall showers and a signature crimson hammock.
The 2,023 winners will choose from considered one of six unbelievable Caribbean itineraries departing from Miami between Jan. 2 and April 28, 2023.
“At Baptist Health, we want our employees to thrive in their careers and all areas of their lives,” stated Adriene McCoy, senior vice chairman and chief folks officer at Baptist Health. “That includes prioritizing their well-being and time off, since our people are the key to the essential and high-quality care we provide to our community. We are excited to partner with Virgin Voyages and grateful for their generosity in offering our dedicated employees an opportunity to vacation, rest and recharge.”
