The Road to Awareness is an annual associate fundraising campaign that has been making a valuable difference in the lives of children across our continent since 2008. Every year, employees throughout Africa and the Middle East organize fundraising events to help raise funds to support the vital work charities and organizations do to improve the lives of children.
The campaign was initiated in 2008 when several senior associates at Former Starwood decided to take on a 3-day cycling challenge in the French Alps and Pyrenees to support UNICEF. In the following years, associates have continued to raise funds, and the cycle challenge has been the anchor of the campaign. Connect on @marriott_r2a.
