Apogee Travel, the hotel booking platform that gives back with every reservation, announces its commitment to raising $100,000 to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On behalf of its customers, Apogee Travel, the hotel booking platform that gives back with every reservation, is pleased to announce its commitment to raising at least $100,000 through travel to benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®: Finding cures. Saving children.® For the next year, travelers booking hotels through Apogee Travel can support St. Jude by making a reservation at ApogeeTravel.com.
"Same hotels, same prices, one big difference: with every stay, when our guest selects St. Jude, at least 10% of Apogee's booking fee goes to St. Jude. Better yet, when a traveler books an Impact Stay, at a participating hotel partner, then the value of the 2nd room night goes to charity," explained John Choate, CEO and founder of Apogee Travel. "With large travel heavy events like the GCX Summit in July and L.A. Comic-Con this September that are supporting St. Jude, this is such a natural fit as people attending these, or any events, can simply book their hotels through Apogee and support St. Jude," continued Choate.
"We are grateful to Apogee Travel for providing customers a simple way to do good while booking summer, work or holiday travel," said Lyles Eddins, senior vice president of Relational Advancement for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "Because of generous commitments like this, St. Jude can continue accelerating treatment and research for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases while ensuring that no family receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live."
"This pledge is just another example of how Apogee Travel is putting our customers — and people in general — first. Every child deserves the chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment, and with this commitment, we can help give children that chance," said Choate. The Apogee Travel Pass the Buck campaign gives back 10% from each booking or 50% of an Impact night directly to each traveler's selected charity while also accruing hotel brand rewards points.
