Press Release: International Cruise & Excursions Inc.
October 19, 2004
PHOENIX, AZ -- International Cruise & Excursions Inc. (ICE), a leading provider of cruise programs and Internet
technology for the leisure industry, and its employees are committed to an ongoing effort to raise money for their
chosen charity Christel House, an international charity focused on helping impoverished children become productive
and self-sufficient citizens. Over the next year, ICE plans to raise $100,000 for Christel House through a series
of organized charity events and employee contributions. ICE is a longtime supporter of Christel House.
"Supporting a charity through the involvement of our staff creates a sense of common purpose and brings people
together across all levels and all departments within our company," said ICE Executive Vice President of Marketing
Marcia Rowley.
"Our support to Christel House continues to be an extremely rewarding experience, but the real reward comes
in knowing that every dollar we raise brings us that much closer to bringing happiness to needy children far from
home."
Christel House Founder Christel DeHaan called ICE's efforts "an inspiring example of corporate social responsibility.
Under John and Marcia Rowley's leadership, ICE continues to demonstrate that a company can do good and do well
at the same time. We are deeply grateful for ICE's generous support of our work."
Christel House is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. Its founder funds all general and administrative expenses.
One hundred percent of donations go directly to benefit the children of Christel House.
