AmericInn Tofte participates in nationwide kids campaign




The AmericInn Tofte has completed a successful charity drive as part of the brand’s AmericInn Cares initiative.

The hotel joined other AmericInn properties nationwide, in partnership with Give Kids the World, to help raise funds and awareness for the nonprofit organization’s Ice Cream for Breakfast initiative.

“We want to thank everyone in our community for their generous support of these efforts,” said Senja Ahlbeck, general manager. “Thanks to the generosity of our guests, the community, as well as our staff, we were able to support this important cause and make a difference in the lives of sick children.”

During November, AmericInn properties participated in charitable efforts across the country. Activities included fundraising, toy donations, manager’s receptions, veteran’s breakfasts and ice cream socials. During these events, AmericInn was able to reach its highest donation total ever, raising more than enough to send two families to the Give Kids the World Village.

Give Kids the World fulfills the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses and their families by providing fantasy vacations at its 70-acre “storybook” resort in Orlando, Fla.

Ice Cream for Breakfast is a fundraising initiative inspired by a former wish family, who celebrate the anniversary of their village trip each year by having ice cream for breakfast—just as they did at the Ice Cream Palace during their stay. It costs about $5,000 for each child and family served by Give Kids the World.

The partnership with Give Kids the World is part of AmericInn’s long-standing commitment to community involvement, which grew into its AmericInn Cares initiative in 2011.
