Atlantis, Paradise Island prides itself on not just
being able to provide quality customer service, attractions and amenities to
the guests that come to stay each year, but also on its commitment to the local
community. In an effort to support the Family Islands in the southern Bahamas
that were devastated by Hurricane Joaquin, the mega-resort property donated in
excess of $50,000 to The Bahamas Red Cross along with three 40ft containers of
lumber to assist with the rebuilding and restoration of homes damaged during
the storm.
Atlantis President & Managing Director Paul
Burke, accompanied by Senior Vice President of Public Affairs and Retail at the
resort Ed Fields, presented the cheque totaling $52,343 to Bahamas Red Cross
President Craig Tony Gomez. In making the presentation, both Burke and Fields
said answering the call to help was a no-brainer for a company that has always
been in tune with the Bahamian community.
“In response to the devastation that recent Hurricane
Joaquin left in its wake in the southern islands of The Bahamas, Atlantis -
with Brookfield Hospitality at the helm - initiated several relief efforts
including a challenge to our employees and guests to generously donate to the
cause and we as a company would match the amount raised. Through that effort, $23,583.51
was raised
