The following is a letter for the president and managing director of Atlantis sent to those on their mailing list:

Dear Friends of Atlantis,

Thank you for the outpouring of support and caring during and after Hurricane Matthew. We are happy to report that Atlantis is currently under clear skies and our team is diligently working on our clean-up efforts from the storm.

We are grateful that our resort was only minimally affected, and all of our guests, employees, and marine life remained safe. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our staff for their dedicated efforts in keeping our guests safe, comfortable and entertained during the storm.

While Atlantis was minimally affected, others in The Bahamas were not as fortunate. Often thought of as just a small country, The Bahamas is actually comprised of more than 700 islands on 100,000 square miles of ocean. The infrastructure and homes for many did sustain significant damage.

Many of you have asked how you can help support The Bahamas recovery and rebuilding. Atlantis Paradise Island has launched a fundraising campaign to provide for this effort. Now through October 31st, Atlantis will match all donations received dollar for dollar, with 100% of the proceeds going to The Bahamas Red Cross, up to $250,000. If you are in a position to do so and would like to donate please click here to go directly to the donation site.

Thank you, once again, for your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you in paradise soon.

Sincerely,

Howard C. Karawan
President & Managing Director
