Extended Stay America is marking National Cancer Survivors Month in June by honoring cancer survivors and individuals currently battling cancer through its partnership with the American Cancer Society. As the Official Hotel Partner of the American Cancer Society, Extended Stay America is emphasizing resilience and triumph by setting up 'Hope Walls' at all participating locations. These installations encourage guests to share messages of support. The physical initiative is complemented by a digital platform for wider participation.
The Hope Walls campaign underscores Extended Stay America's commitment to supporting cancer patients by providing free and discounted lodging, totaling nearly 250,000 nights since 2013 and saving over $15 million in accommodation costs. This support aims to alleviate the financial burden and provide a comforting environment with amenities such as fully equipped kitchens, free Wi-Fi, on-site laundry, and pet-friendly rooms.
