ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - Oct 14, 2011) - Stepping forward in support of the American Kidney Fund, the Courtyard Atlanta Airport West, one of the premier Atlanta hotels near the airport, rallied around the 22nd Annual American Kidney Fund Turquoise Cup Golf Classic held October 3, 2011 at the prestigious Dunwoody Country Club.
Established as the American Kidney Fund's signature fundraising event in Atlanta, the Turquoise Cup Golf Classic has become a noted event, successfully gathering support and raising a substantial amount of money to help in the fight against kidney disease. The Courtyard Atlanta Airport West joined with other noted businesses and organizations in donating both time and services to the event. This distinctive ATL Airport hotel donated a weekend stay for two with breakfast to the silent auction held on behalf of the American Kidney Fund. The event kicked off with the Turquoise Cup Golf Classic and Tennis Mixer on September 22, 2011 during which Courtyard representatives participated in the silent auction and networked with community officials, supporters and other sponsors. Other noted contributors for this year's auction and golf classic included Hennessy Jaguar of Atlanta and Shane's Rib Shack.
"We are proud to partner for such a worthwhile cause as this," said General Manager Muktar Dougsiyeh in explaining the East Point, Georgia hotel's participation in the event which provides direct financial support to patients in need, health education and prevention efforts. As a result of the generosity of organizations such as the Courtyard Atlanta Airport West, the American Kidney Fund is able to provide health education and outreach to thousands who are at risk for kidney disease. According to Fund information, ninety-seven cents of every dollar spent by the American Kidney Fund goes to support these programs and services.
The American Kidney Fund's Southeast Regional Office is located in Atlanta and maintains many of the same tasks of the national office, including outreach, fundraising and special event planning while building partnerships and participating in coalitions representing non-profit, religious, education, corporate and government sectors for the region.
The Courtyard Atlanta Airport West hotel's caring attitude as depicted in support of this regional fund-raiser is also reflected daily through the hotel's meticulous accommodations and attentive service of hotel associates. A distinctive Hartsfield Airport Hotel, the Courtyard welcomes guests with a warm and inviting lobby, complimentary high speed Internet access and a full service business center, also convenient for printing airline boarding passes for busy travelers.
