Red Roof® ‘Room in Your Heart’ Campaign Once Again Supports Canine Companions® in February, Aiming to Raise $50,000

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 1, 2023 – Red Roof®, an award-winning leader in the lodging industry, is once again partnering with Canine Companions® for its latest ‘Room in Your Heart’ (RIYH)** purpose-driven promotion. Travelers who book and stay at Red Roof from February 1, 2023, through February 28, 2023, can save 15% on their stay, and a percentage of the purchase price from that completed stay will be donated to Canine Companions.

 

Canine Companions transforms the lives of people with disabilities by providing their clients with expertly trained service dogs, free of charge. Their dogs are trained to perform practical tasks that enhance independence and reduce reliance on others. This powerful relationship leads to greater confidence and inclusion for a person with a disability.

 

“Red Roof has ‘Room in its Heart’ for Canine Companions and its goal to enhance independence for children, adults and veterans with disabilities through these expertly trained service dogs. Independence shouldn’t be limited to those who look or live a certain way. Disabilities reach all races, classes and backgrounds,” said Marina MacDonald, Red Roof Chief Marketing Officer. 

 

Throughout February, Red Roof’s valued guests who book a stay at a Red Roof Inn®, Red Roof PLUS+®, HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof®, or The Red Collection® property will save 15% on their stay, and 5% of the revenue from their stay booked and completed by February 28 goes to support Canine Companions. Guests may book directly using VP code 628903 at redroof.com, by calling 800.RED.ROOF, or at any property. 

 

“The Room in Your Heart purpose program resonates strongly with our mission, building lasting connections for a bright future,” says Jeanine Konopelski, Canine Companions vice president marketing and advocacy. “We are grateful for the ongoing support of Red Roof and travelers who support Canine Companions as they travel in February.”

 

Last year, with guests’ help, Red Roof’s Room in Your Heart donated $50,000 to Canine Companions. That donation qualified Red Roof to name a Canine Companions puppy, which was named Redi. In honor of its 50th anniversary, Red Roof is once again, with guests’ help, hoping to raise another $50,000 this year, and name another heroic Canine Companions puppy.
