SILVER SPRING, Md., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday marked the official launch of the newest free downloadable song from Choice Hotels Music. Starting December 5, consumers who visit ChoiceHotelsMusic.com and download the free song "Looking for the Road" by Holly Montgomery will sponsor a $1 donation from Choice Hotels International to the non-profit organization SOME (So Others Might Eat). Choice Hotels will donate one dollar for every free download of the song by consumers, up to $10,000.
"With the continued success of the Choice Hotels Music program, I hope that consumers will respond just as favorably and charitably to our newest song download as they have to our previous songs, helping us to raise $20,000 for two different charities already," said Stephen P. Joyce, president and CEO for Choice Hotels International. "Through this program, our goal is to enable charities to harness the power of music to help raise awareness and funds like never before through the vast distribution of ChoiceHotels.com, which reaches so many consumers every day."
The featured charity for this song launch, SOME, is a community-based organization whose mission is to help the poor and homeless of our nation's capital by offering services such as food, clothing, medical and dental care, affordable housing, job training, addiction treatment, and counseling to the poor, the elderly and individuals with mental illness.
"We hope this song helps to inspire people to think about others during this season of giving and we're very happy that the song writer/artist, Holly Montgomery, has chosen to personally perform 'Looking for the Road' at our fundraising gala tomorrow night in Washington, D.C.," said Fr. John Adams, President of SOME.
Good causes have never sounded so great -- Choice Hotels Music has been hard at work bringing listeners the best of the best music, while also giving these listeners a chance to make a difference in the lives of others. Each song produced benefits a featured cause or charity through donations for downloads at ChoiceHotelsMusic.com. The program's two previous free song downloads that launched each brought in over 10,000 downloads, resulting in $20,000 in total donations to charitable organizations Rebuilding Together and Boys & Girls Clubs Chapters.
