Walk the Walk. Change the World. The World Partnership Walk raised an estimated $5.5 million this year in the fight against global poverty, bumping its total to an incredible $45.5 million since its inception.
On Sunday May 25th, 2008 Mayfair Hotels & Resorts walked the walk and participated for its 5th year in The World Partnership Walk.
The World Partnership Walk is an initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation and is the largest annual event dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to fight global poverty. This year Mayfair Hotels & Resorts was able to raise over $11,000. This was made possible by generous staff donations, corporate donations and fundraising activities such as cookie sales and a benefit concert featuring local Vancouver bands. This year’s walk generated over 1.6 million dollars, 100% of which goes directly to international development initiatives.
