WILKES-BARRE, PA -- 10/28/09 --
Sundance Vacations provided
$1300 to the SPCA of Luzerne County in honor of Make a Difference Day.
Normally it is not a good idea to scare consumers; however, Sundance
Vacations employees held a Haunted House "Sundance at Sundown" at the
company's corporate headquarters on October 22nd, October 23rd, and on the
annual Make a Difference Day, October 24th. Make a Difference Day is the
most encompassing national day of helping others -- a celebration of
neighbors helping neighbors. It is an annual event sponsored by USA Weekend
magazine.
The entry fee was $5. Sundance Vacations also provided baked goods to all
guests in efforts to raise more money. All proceeds raised were donated to
the Luzerne County SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
"Consumers who don't know Sundance Vacations may be skeptical or even
misguided by thinking that Sundance Vacations is a scam," said Sundance
Vacations Founder Tina Dowd. "But, our employees illustrate who we are and
what we believe in by their actions every day. This charity project fits
two of our core values: to create fun and to give back. We are proud of
Sundance Vacations' reputation in the community," added Dowd.
According to the Executive Director of the SPCA of Luzerne County, Vince
Sweeney, the SPCA does not receive any state or government funds. All
operating funds come from the generosity of the community.
In 2008, Sundance Vacations partnered up with Habitat for Humanity for Make a Difference Day. The
company raised $2,830 companywide for local habitats in their community.
