Preferred Travel raises $17,000 for STARability Foundation at 2023 Travel Showcase
Preferred Travel of Naples is pleased to announce they raised $17,000 from their Celebrate the Art of Travel event in February. The annual travel showcase was held at Club Pelican Bay and had over 225 guests in attendance. Each had the opportunity to connect with some of the world’s top travel vendors as well as enjoy various travel talks.
Preferred Travel chose STARability Foundation to be the non-profit benefactor of the event this year. The $75 per person ticket price went directly to benefit the charitable organization which exists to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities through social, vocational, and educational connections to the community, while strengthening awareness and respect for individual abilities.
Preferred Travel has a long history of supporting local non-profits with the proceeds from their travel events. To date, they have now donated over $287,000 to local charitable organizations.
The Preferred Travel team held their annual event to invite their clients and future travelers to use creativity and imagination to ignite their passion for travel. Celebrate the Art of Travel included some of the world’s top travel partners who showcased hundreds of ideas for travel near and far.
Olga Placeres, President of Preferred Travel of Naples, said, “It’s always a great event for our clients and for our local charities. We’ve been donating the registration fees from our annual travel showcase for years and choose a different non-profit each year as our team loves giving back to the community.”
