We will be celebrating Children's Day in just a few days, and I can’t help but wonder what an integral role life and experiences play in shaping the personalities of innocent children. Even today, I reminisce about my childhood holidays, and these precious memories bring me a smile. Those moments of exploration, discovery, and family bonding played an integral role in forming who I am today. As adults, we play a crucial role in creating these memories for the young ones. Holidays are not just about relaxation—they’re opportunities to expose our children to new places, cultures, and experiences that help them develop curiosity, empathy, and resilience. Whether it’s a road trip, a staycation, or an adventure, every experience contributes to shaping their worldview. At BWH hotels, we believe in offering spaces that encourage these moments of growth and discovery for families. Because it’s in these moments that our children learn to embrace the world around them, and we, as parents, play a key part in guiding them. Here’s to making more memories and giving our children the gift of experiences that will last a lifetime. #ChildrensDay #memories #vacations #vacations

One such program is Wreaths Across America, a cause that resonates with our commitment to honoring Veterans. As Mandee Lade, our Driver Recruiter, shares, "I love what Wreaths Across America stands for and the impact it has on our community." Another important tradition is our Adopt a Family program, where we come together to support families in need during the holidays. As Mandee explains, "It's incredibly rewarding for our employees, our company, and the community." We can't wait to get these programs going again soon!
