Cruise Travel Outlet Organizes Cruise Fundraiser for the Victims of the Boston Marathon
Cruise Travel Outlet has created a website to collect donations for the victims of the Boston tragedy which occurred on April 15, 2013. Participants will be entered to win one of two great vacations. One donor will be chosen for each giveaway. The first donor selected will win a 7 night Norwegian Cruise for two in a balcony cabin departing from Boston or New York in 2013 or 2014, complements of Norwegian Cruise Lines. The second donor selected will win an 8 night European Viking River Cruise for two sailing in 2014, complements of Viking River Cruises.
Four innocent lives were taken and over two hundred people were injured during this senseless tragedy. Julie Walsh, Director of Marketing at Cruise Travel Outlet, created a video to promote the fundraiser. “The world saw firsthand the immediate reaction to this devastating tragedy was not hate, intimidation, anger or fear, but compassion, strength, determination, and unity. And my video portrays just that,” Walsh explains. “I tried to focus on the unity this tragedy brought to the city of Boston more so than the violence.” This video was made in memory of Sean Collier, Martin Richard, Lu Lingzi, Krystle Campbell and can be viewed at http://www.BostonFundraiser.org.
Cruise Travel Outlet has set a goal to raise $100,000. So far they have raised over $2,400 for the Boston marathon victims. Please make a donation and help support the victims and families affected. “I’m not surprised at the tremendous outpouring of support to help the victims, because that’s who Boston is,” said Bill Walsh President of Cruise Travel Outlet. “It hit very close to home, my family and I have stood at that finish line many times, it could have been any of us,” Walsh added.
Cruise Travel Outlet is accepting donations via the website at http://www.BostonFundraiser.org. Or by check, made payable to Cruise Travel Outlet and mailed to 39 Main St., Suite 202, Salem, NH 03079. All proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be donated to 503(c) charities formed specifically to support the victims of the Boston Marathon Tragedy and other individual 503(c) charities set up for victims of the Boston tragedy.
