Wyndham Hotel Group Sponsors Child’s Experience of a Lifetime

PARSIPPANY, N.J. – Earlier this week, Wyndham Hotel Group helped sponsor Starlight Children’s Foundation’s 11th Annual Starlight Night at Citi Field.

As part of the celebration, Starlight children with long-term illnesses were invited to VIP treatment at the New York Mets vs. the St. Louis Cardinals game, which included food, fun with the team’s mascot, Mr. Met, and the honor of throwing out the first pitch.

Nine-year-old Ernesto Martinez from Yonkers, New York, who is a member of the program, threw a perfect strike down the middle! He was joined by eleven-year-old Ryan Heinzerling, of Greenwich, Conn., who comes from a family of long-time Starlight supporters.

Starlight Children’s Foundation is the signature charity of Wyndham Hotel Group, the world’s largest hotel company with approximately 7,380 hotels and over 631,800 rooms under 15 hotel brands. The company continues to strengthen its commitment to children through the sponsorship of events that allow kids a moment of distraction from the pain and loneliness of long-term illness. This year, through the Wishes by Wyndham charitable foundation of its parent company, Wyndham Worldwide, and associate contributions, Wyndham Hotel Group has donated $10,000 dollars to Starlight Children’s Foundation and sponsored six Starlight Fun Centers™ for the pediatric units of hospitals around the country.
