Earlier today, we sent out this letter from our Founder to our email database. We’re also sharing it here on our blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hello Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take a few minutes to read this important letter. It could change lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This September, I have a special opportunity to visit the Sandals & Beaches Resorts<\/a> in Jamaica for a week-long exclusive training event. To be one of the limited number of travel advisors invited to attend is both an honor and a privilege. Experiences like this allow us to better serve you, our customers, by bringing first-hand experience to the booking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As happy as I am to visit this beautiful destination again, I am even more excited about a special program that the Sandals Foundation<\/a> has been a part of since its inception. Pack for a Purpose<\/a> is a great opportunity for visitors to the various Sandals & Beaches Resorts<\/a> in the Caribbean to bring much-needed supplies for schools, women’s shelters, and other community organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My airline allows me to bring two free bags and I will be using one of those (and any remaining space in my other bag) to bring pencils, crayons, markers, and other school supplies for the local children. I’d love to have your support as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways you can participate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOK YOUR NEXT SANDALS OR BEACHES VACATION TODAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting today through September 16th, when you book your Sandals or Beaches vacation, a portion of Premier Custom Travel’s<\/strong> proceeds will be donated to the Sandals Foundation<\/strong>, benefiting worthy causes in communities throughout the Caribbean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookings are open now through December 2026 and in most cases a $400 refundable deposit secures your reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n REQUEST A CONSULTATION<\/font><\/b> <\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

PURCHASE SUPPLIES FOR ME TO TAKE TO JAMAICA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have compiled a list of items from the wish lists of several schools and community centers throughout Jamaica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to purchase items for my trip, please visit my Amazon wish list for more details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When ordering, please pay attention to the shipping dates. Items must arrive at our offices no later than Friday, September 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PURCHASE ITEMS NOW<\/font><\/b> <\/a>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

I hope you will choose to support these efforts with either or both of these options. Our offices will be open throughout the holiday weekend and I would be happy to personally share why I think the Sandals & Beaches Resorts<\/a> are the best all-inclusive option for your next vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, thank you for your support of Premier Custom Travel<\/a> and our efforts to make an impact through travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. Here’s a photo from the last time we visited\u00a0Sandals Negril<\/strong>. All six of the suitcases in this photo were filled with supplies – that’s about 300 pounds of pens, pencils, and other much-needed items. While we can estimate the weight of the items, their impact will be immeasurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
