Marriott International does more than just provide quality accommodations across the world  – they’re also the longest-standing corporate partner of  Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since 1983, Marriott International has raised $100 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through campaigns  and creative fundraising events. They even encourage guests to donate Marriott Rewards points to   families with children receiving treatment at distant facilities.

One of Marriott International’s annual fundraising events is their golf tournament and silent auction, hosted on FrontStream's BiddingForGood community. As golfers play, they also bid on auction items – and  raised around $40,000 before anyone hit the links.

That auction catalog was valuable,  and the team made sure to use the BiddingForGood's real-time messaging features  to update golfers about  items they bid on. There was also  stiff competition from the BiddingForGood  community, which was responsible for around 77% of the amount raised before the golfing even began!
