Bluegreen Corporation, a leading vacation ownership marketing, sales and hospitality company, was a Super Hero Sponsor at the “Honoring the Hero in All of Us” dinner celebration benefitting the American Red Cross last week at the Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park.

“Bluegreen is honored to continue their sponsorship of the American Red Cross Heroes Campaign,” said Ellen Devine, Executive Assistant to Bluegreen’s President and CEO.

“We’re proud of the relationship we have with the local Chapter of the American Red Cross, and strongly believe in supporting the communities in which we do business.”

Six Bluegreen associates attended the event, which included a silent auction and live auction. More than 150 guests attended, including SPN 106.3′s Joe Girvan, who is also a Major Gifts Officer for the American Red Cross, who emceed the event. Jason Alpert conducted the live auction.

“The American Red Cross values its partnership with Bluegreen Corporation,” said Rob Levine, Regional Executive for the American Red Cross Palm Beaches – Treasure Coast Region.

“Not only do its employees support the work of Red Cross volunteers by supporting events like “Honoring the Hero in All of Us,” but they strive every day to make sure their team practices preparedness in the workplace, a key part of any corporate social responsibility program.

Bluegreen Corporation had first-hand experience working with the American Red Cross when the Bluegreen resort Atlantic Palace in Atlantic City was severely damaged during Hurricane Sandy.

Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, Bluegreen Corporation is a leading timeshare sales, marketing and resort management company. Bluegreen Vacations through its affiliates manages, markets and sells the Bluegreen Vacation Club, a flexible, points-based, deeded vacation ownership plan with more than 160,000 owners, over 60 owned or managed resorts, and access to more than 4,000 resorts worldwide.

Bluegreen Vacations, a leading provider of vacation experiences, will make a $5,000 corporate donation to American Red Cross Disaster Relief to assist with care for those displaced by Hurricane Sandy, Bluegreen President and CEO John M. Maloney Jr. has announced.

In addition, the company will match personal donations by its associates made by November 30, 2012- dollar for dollar- up to $5,000.

A handful of resorts that are either owned by or affiliated with the vacation club experienced the wrath of Sandy first hand: The Soundings and The Breakers in Dennisport, MA, The Manhattan Club in New York City, Patrick Henry Square in Williamsburg, VA., Shenandoah Crossing in Gordonsville, VA., and Atlantic Palace in Atlantic City, NJ.

“Many Bluegreen associates in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast took great precautions before the storm to protect our resort owners and guests, even as they took steps to safeguard themselves and their loved ones,” Maloney said.

“They showed great care and compassion. Now it’s our opportunity—and responsibility—to show compassion.”

The American Red Cross has provided more than 23,000 overnight shelter stays since October 26, 2012, two days before Sandy made landfall. The storm has affected 60 million people across an area the Red Cross described as “about the size of Europe.”

Bluegreen Vacations hosts owners and guests at several resorts in the affected area, including Bluegreen at Atlantic Palace on the hard-hit Atlantic City, N.J., Boardwalk.

Contributions to the American National Red Cross are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The Red Cross’ tax identification number is 53-0196605. For more information, visit the Red Cross web site.
