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.
