Broughton Hotels Celebrates National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day On April 2

Broughton Hotels Celebrates National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day On

April 2 by Making 10,000 Sandwiches in 1 Hour to Be Donated to Chicago

Charities

In celebration of National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day

on Wednesday, April 2, broughtonHOTELS will prepare 10,000 sandwiches in

one hour, the largest number of sandwiches ever prepared in the short

time frame in Chicago. The sandwiches will be donated to St. Jerome's

Ministry, Chicago Lights, Pacific Gardens, and several additional

charitable organizations in Chicago to aid in the fight against hunger.

The event will take place on April 2 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Brompton

between Pine Grove and Lake Shore Drive (adjacent to The Majestic Hotel,

528 West Brompton). Volunteers from broughtonHotels, the Lakeview

Chamber of Commerce and neighboring businesses will line the street in

an effort to conquer the goal. The event is the largest sandwich

donation ever attempted by broughtonHOTELS employees, who make

sandwiches for St. Jerome's Ministry three times a month, in addition to

providing monthly monetary donations.

"The broughtonHOTELS team

is committed to doing our part to help fight hunger in Chicago. We hope

that making sandwiches to feed the hungry on National Peanut Butter and

Jelly Day will help raise awareness and encourage Chicagoans to give

back to their community by volunteering at a charity of their choice,"

said CEO Larry Broughton.

broughtonHOTELS has recently completed

stunning renovations at its three historic Chicago boutique hotels, The

Majestic Hotel (528 West Brompton), The Willows Hotel (555 West Surf),

and City Suites Chicago (933 West Belmont). Originally built in the

1920s in Chicago's Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighborhoods, each

property features a renewed grandeur that includes sophisticated new

guestroom and lobby furnishings, enhanced lighting, window treatments,

linens, carpeting and beautiful custom artwork throughout. iHome docks

are now in all guestrooms, and fiber optic internet has been installed

in every hotel. California-based design firm AF Canta created the

concept for the renovation.
