Send Me On Vacation (SMOV), a non-profit that provides women with breast cancer who have undergone treatment with a way to heal their minds, bodies and spirits through much-needed vacations is excited to announce yet another charity event that will directly benefit breast cancer survivors: the TrackResults Business Intelligence “Go All In To Help Cancer Survivors Win” poker tournament at the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa. This event will take place on April 5, 2014, one day before timeshare and vacation industry professionals will convene for the ARDA World Convention.
TrackResults Business Intelligence, the only company in the industry to offer real-time, cloud-based analytics to increase the bottom line for sales and marketing centers, is proud to partner with Send Me On Vacation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit that strives to provide a platform for breast cancer survivors who have been devastated financially through the costs of cancer treatment with the opportunity to emotionally heal on their path toward recovery and good health. Because of the devastating effects – both financially and physically – that cancer treatments can have, breast cancer survivors are not always able to get away and clear their minds of the strenuous journey they have just endured. This is where Send Me On Vacation comes in.
Last year, Send Me On Vacation sent 22 deserving women on vacations to destinations around the world. This year, the charity hopes to double this number. The “Go All In To Help Cancer Survivors Win” poker tournament will play a big role in raising funds to send these incredible women on the vacations that they need and deserve.
The “Go All In To Help Cancer Survivors Win” poker tournament will be hosted by TrackResults Business Intelligence, with all of the proceeds going to benefit Send Me On Vacation.
“TrackResults never ceases to amaze us with their open-hearted generosity and their unique ideas to support Send Me On Vacation, sending in-need cancer survivors on a well-deserved vacation following treatment,” said Send Me On Vacation’s president, Cathy Backus.
TrackResults Business Intelligence chose to support SMOV as its primary charity of choice based on the SMOV approach of directly affecting the survival rate of cancer patients, and because one of the co-founders has personally been affected by breast cancer, having two family members who are survivors of this insidious disease. As such, the team at TrackResults Business Intelligence has a first-hand understanding of the devastation and emotional trauma breast cancer can wreak on survivors and their loved ones.
“I believe the action of sending a recovering survivor on a timeshare vacation speaks volumes to the truth and credibility of our sales message,” said Drew Reynolds, another co-founder of TrackResults Business Intelligence.
A total of 11 tables will be included in the poker tournament. Ten of the tables will be sold for a buy-in of $2,500. The playoff table, which is the final table level of sponsorship, is still available and up for grabs. Each table will feature nine seats, and will prominently display which company has donated to SMOV.
At the end of the night, a cash prize will be given to the tournament winner. Throughout the night, other prizes will be given to other winners, such as Las Vegas dinner vouchers, use of a Las Vegas limo, a Harley motorcycle rental, NBA tickets, electronics, signed sports memorabilia, designer purses, Las Vegas show tickets, and much more. Additionally, SMOV is also looking for donations for a silent auction that will happen during the poker tournament.
Nine of the 11 tables have already been sold, and the remaining tables are going fast. Thus far, the following companies have sponsored tables in support of SMOV’s mission: Perfekt Marketing, Travel To Go, Merlin Software, Westgate Resorts, Festiva Hospitality, Wells Fargo, Brag Fire, Leisure Loyalty, and TrackResults Business Intelligence.
“Travel To Go actively participates in not only sponsoring Send Me on Vacation survivors but also in donating time to help the organization bring in sponsors and help the survivors get booked on vacations,” said Jeanette Bunn, president of Travel To Go and co-president of Send Me On Vacation. “We do this because these woman have gone through so much. It has been an overwhelming feeling helping them plan, sometimes their first vacation ever, to be able to truly enjoy themselves with their families. And it just feels good to help!”
“’Investing in the future’ has always been a hallmark of The March Group of Wells Fargo Advisors,” said Nico F. March, senior vice president and senior institutional consultant of The March Group of Wells Fargo Advisors. “The ability to help the great folks at Send Me On Vacation and invest in the future of worthy individuals is even more fulfilling.”
“It is Merlin’s first time supporting Send Me On Vacation,” said Mike Ashton, director of business for Merlin Software. “I have seen first-hand at a C.A.R.E. conference the difference this program makes, and we are very proud to help in our small way.”
