4 October 2024, Johor Bahru, Malaysia — Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre embraced the spirit of giving this October through its participation in IHG’s global “Giving for Good” initiative. With a focus on creating meaningful community impact, the hotel organized two charitable activities : A community service visit to Cerebral Palsy Home Johor Bahru and a blood donation drive in collaboration with Hospital Sultanah Aminah.
Community Service at Cerebral Palsy Home Johor Bahru
On 24 September, the team at Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre visited Cerebral Palsy Home Johor Bahru to engage with residents and lend a helping hand. The team spent the day connecting with students, organizing spaces, and participating in creative arts and crafts activities. This event highlighted the hotel’s dedication to making a difference beyond its walls and fostering a sense of joy and connection within the community.
Reflecting on the importance of the initiative, Emelyn Rosales, General Manager of Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre, noted, “At Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre, we believe in creating bonds not just within our team but with the people in our community who need it most. By spending time with the ones in need and participating in activities like blood donation, we embody the true hospitality of extending care, compassion, and support beyond the walls of our hotel.”
Blood Donation Drive with Hospital Sultanah Aminah
The spirit of giving continued on 30 September, when the hotel held a Blood Donation Drive in partnership with Hospital Sultanah Aminah. The event brought together 44 donors, including hotel team members, mall tenants, nearby office workers, and hotel guests, united in their mission to make a difference. The initiative underscored the belief that giving back does not always need a monetary contribution—sometimes, the gift of life is the most meaningful of all.
Commitment to Year-Round Giving
Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre’s participation in the “Giving for Good” month aligns with IHG’s global initiative to foster positive change within communities. This September’s activities are just a part of the hotel’s broader commitment to community engagement, with charitable activities planned throughout the year during key seasonal events.
As the “Giving for Good” month draws to a close, the hotel is reaffirming its dedication to continued community service and finding new opportunities to give back. Whether through donations, volunteering, or other contributions, Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre remains devoted to fostering the spirit of giving and strengthening its bond with the community year-round.
