Book a Room – Give a Room

Everyone loves a two for one, more so when that offer is to help another in need.
The Virgin Unite and Virgin Mobile charitable initiative RE*Generation have just partnered with hotel booking site Rooomr to donate to a homeless youth every time a booking is made.
Not only are customers guaranteeing a warm bed for themselves but the warmth of knowledge knowing that they have contributed to help another more in need, reach a warm bed for the night also.
The RE*Generation initiative actively supports the two million youths dealing with homelessness each year in the USA by providing shelter, medical care and education. In keeping with Rooomr's social good ethos, none of the donation costs are passed on to the customer and hotel price parity is guaranteed.
There are currently more than two million youth dealing with homelessness each year in the United States – most forced from their homes due to circumstances beyond their control.
Virgin Mobile USA alongside Virgin Unite are constantly aiming to change that with their RE*Generation initiatives which have so far seen FreeFest donations, volunteering, phone sales support and concerts.
Head over to the RE*Generation website to find out how you can help, or visit Rooomr to book, and give a room.
RE*Generation is a Virgin Unite initiative.
