Setting a new fundraising record for the event, Festiva Hospitality Group (Festiva Timeshare) held its 2012 Festiva Charitable Fund Golf Tournament last month. The tournament site for the Festiva timeshare event was the Wachesaw East golf course in Murrells Inlet, S.C., also the home of Festiva’s flagship resort, Ellington at Wachesaw East.

Raising more than $57,000 through sponsorships, golfer registrations, raffle ticket sales, and private donations, the event was not only fun, it was a huge success. The Festiva Charitable Fund, which is a flexible endowment fund that began in 2006, will receive all the proceeds of the tournament and will utilize the money in its support of various charities. Each year, the Festiva Charitable Fund is able to provide permanent charitable resources within the communities where Festiva timeshare resorts are located.

The Festiva Charitable Fund is managed by The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and expanding philanthropy. You can learn more about the  Festiva Hospitality Group, Inc., at www.festiva.travel and more about the Charitable Fund at www.cfwnc.org.

This month’s spotlight on timeshare owners is focused on three Festiva Hospitality Group timeshare owners. Each of the three families, the Augers, the Todds, and the Raders, have unique stories about their love for vacationing at a Festiva vacation ownership resort.

For the Augers, owners at Festiva’s Rangeley Lake Resort in Maine, their resort is a relaxing retreat that affords time shared in family bonding. Especially meaningful is that Mr. Auger is in active service in the US Navy, and is frequently deployed. Festiva’s Rangeley Lake Resort gives  the family a special place for connecting and re-connecting, whether they are there to enjoy the summer sunshine or winter sports in the Saddleback Ski area.

The Todd family owns timeshare at Festiva’s Peppertree Ocean Club in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They cherish their timeshare for the vacations it creates today and the memories it brings from yesterday, recognizing that their children have vacationed there every single year of their lives.

To the Rader family, owners at Festiva’s Southcape Resort and Club, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, vacation fun springs from all the amenities and activities specifically designed to appeal to young vacationers. As the Raders explain, “Just being together in this environment and hearing the laughs and sighs of our children made the long trip from North Carolina to Cape Cod all worthwhile.”
