ATLANTA, GA, April
29, 2020—Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG),
an Atlanta-based, private hotel investment, ownership and management company,
today announced it has launched a relief fund for its laid off associates
impacted financially by the on-going coronavirus pandemic.
Launched
via GoFundMe across just the corporate office initially, the fund collected
more than $20,000 in just two hours and has continued to grow as corporate
associates, property associates, property owners and friends of the company
continue to contribute.

“We are guided by our Purpose, ‘To be excellent in all we do so our associates,
guests and partners LOVE us,’ so it was vitally important to us at HVMG to
offer whatever support we can during these obviously trying times,” said Robert
Cole, president & CEO, HVMG.
“Due to this outpouring of aid, we continue to
have funds being distributed in the form of gift cards for Walmart and similar
retailers.”
The fund is voluntarily supported by anyone wishing to
donate to these in-need hotel industry workers.
“Whether
the associate needs the funds for essential items, groceries, medical bills or
to care for a loved one, we are thankful for the generosity and encouraged to
know that this money will make a difference for our associates in need,”
said Susan Sanders, executive vice-president & chief human resources
officer.
“We work with each property general manager to ensure the funds are distributed quickly in a fair and consistent manner.
"As the states are
delayed by the sheer number of requests for financial aid, this assistance can
help bridge the gap between filing and receiving state unemployment
compensation.”
