EMBASSY SUITES VALLEY FORGE TO SURPRISE CHILDREN FROM BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS SOUTHEASTERN PA WITH NEW BICYCLES AS PART OF MAKE A DIFFERENCE PROGRAM

VALLEY FORGE, PA - - Staff members  at the Embassy Suites Valley Forge will spend their afternoon on November 12, 2009, assembling new bikes for children ages 8 to 12. The bike building is not only part of a unique team building program, but a labor of love according to the hotel’s General Manager Paul Farnell.

“As part of our company’s Make A Difference Program, we decided to do something that would not only unite the staff in a fun and unique way, but that would result in doing something that would impact the community. The bikes come to us unassembled and the teams made up of staff members from all different departments will compete to see who can complete the bicycles first. Later that day, we are hosting 8 Bigs and 8 Littles from Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA where we will surprise the children with the new bikes, new helmets and hot chocolate and cookies,” Farnell said.

Embassy Suites Make A Difference program rolled out in June 2009. The bike program encompasses the “Make a Difference” service statement—“Gracious, engaging and caring…making a difference in the lives of others, in ways both big and small.”

Farnell said the children from Big Brothers Big Sisters have no idea they are going to receive the bikes “The kids are coming to the hotel with their family and their Big under the guise that it is for a pre-Thanksgiving treat. We are looking forward to seeing their excitement when they receive the bikes,” he added.

”It’s clear that Embassy Suites understands the need for more businesses, organizations and individuals to take action and bring positive experiences to the lives of children in the region,” said Marlene L. Olshan, Chief Executive Officer for Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern PA. “Their generosity sets a great example for children in our program and we are grateful for their support.”

The Bigs and Littles will arrive around 4:30pm and will enjoy hot chocolate and cookies before the staff invites them into an open space where the children will find their bike and new helmet with their name on it. “This will be a magical moment for the kids and for our staff,” Farnell added.
