Scottsdale, Ariz. (December 15, 2015) — On August 23rd – 24th, 2016, HelmsBriscoe and Marcus Hotels & Resorts will once again host the annual HB Cares Classic, a networking and charity event which this year raised $50,000 for charity. The event will be held at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
HelmsBriscoe, the global leader in meetings procurement, strives to find unique and exciting ways to bring its Associates and Hotel and Destination Partners together outside of conventional site visits or industry tradeshows.
“This event was started as a means of giving back to local charities committed to making a difference in their communities, while also providing a vehicle through which our Associates could cultivate lasting relationships with colleagues, hoteliers and destinations around the world,” said HelmsBriscoe Founder and CEO, Roger Helms.
During this annual event, HelmsBriscoe Associates and Partners join together to participate in a golf tournament held on Grand Geneva’s championship course, The Brute. Guests also enjoy a variety of social and networking opportunities during the gathering.
This year, HelmsBriscoe and Marcus Hotels & Resorts presented a check of $50,000 to support United Way, Clean the World, Childhood Leukemia Foundation, Give Kids the World, and the Special Olympics of North Texas.
“We are so thankful for our great relationship with Marcus Hotels & Resorts and to all of those who participate in this event annually,” said Helms. “With their support, this event will continue to have a significant impact for years to come.”
