Sedona, Ariz. (August 1, 2011) – Kokopelli Suites, a “Best of Sedona” hotel winner for three years in a row and winner of TripAdvisor’s “Certificate of Excellence,” is pleased to select the Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity as August’s charity of choice for the 12 Months of Giving Campaign. Through the campaign, Kokopelli Suites will donate one dollar for every new Facebook “Like” (www.facebook.com/kokopellisuites) or Twitter follower (@KokopelliSuites), up to $500. Additionally, for every reservation made in August using the special promo code HABITAT, Kokopelli Suites will donate five dollars to the organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with families in need to build simple decent, affordable housing. The houses are sold to partnering families at no profit and with no interest charged; partner families invest hundreds of hours of labor “sweat equity” into building their homes and the homes of others. Locally, Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity placed two families in the last fiscal year; since 1995 the chapter has completed and dedicated 11 homes.
“The staff, management and owners of Kokopelli Suites are proud to support our local Habitat for Humanity and hope we can raise even more awareness for such an impactful organization,” said Vicki Mayo, General Manager of Kokopelli Suites and Owner of Mayo Hotel Management. “Every family deserves a place to call home and more importantly, a chance to be a home owner.”
