ATLANTA, Ga.—August 24, 2009—Along with an exchange of rings and traditional marital pledges, newlywed couples celebrating their marriage at The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta (Downtown) can also include A Vow to Help Others. This commitment allows them to share the happiness of their special day with those in need, including local charities, by donating a portion of their reception costs to a cause close to their heart, as well as worthwhile organizations supported by the Community Footprints Fund.  

A Vow To Help Others gives wedding couples the opportunity to donate five percent of the total food revenue from their event equally between a charity of their choice and to the Community Footprints Fund, sponsored by The Ritz-Carlton, which benefits hunger and poverty relief, disadvantaged children, and environmental conservation.

 “’A Vow To Help Others’ is a unique way for our hotel to partner with wedding couples to make their wedding experience both memorable and personally enriching,” said Tod Morrow, general manager, The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta.

A Vow To Help Others is applicable to wedding events booked prior to December 31, 2009 for events taking place prior to December 31, 2010, based upon program availability.
