Give and Get $5: Red Roof Locations across the Country High Five`s Guests with $5.00 Cash Back to Those Who Donate to Feeding America

Unprecedented Promotion is in Conjunction with Country Music Star, Red Roof
Brand Ambassador and Feeding America Spokesman, Phil Vassar
COLUMBUS, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Red Roof guests will be high-fiving Thanksgiving week when they pocket a five
dollar bill for making a dollar donation to charity. Red Roof will give $5 cash
back to every guest making a minimum $1 donation to Feeding America during the
week of Thanksgiving, Sunday Nov. 22 through Sunday Nov. 29. Donations must be
made at the property and guests will receive the rebate upon check out; the $5
back is per stay, not per night. It is Red Roof`s way of giving back and showing
their thanks by teaming up with Feeding America and Country Music artist and Red
Roof Brand Ambassador, Phil Vassar to help put food on American tables over the
holidays.

Country Music star Phil Vassar, who recently released his single, "Everywhere I
Go," earlier this year, was the spark for this promotion. Vassar, a Red Roof
Brand Ambassador and an invaluable part of the company`s Red Roof Loves Country
campaign, is also a national spokesman for Feeding America and tirelessly raises
money for the organization. "Feeding America gives to so many across this
country," says Vassar. "I`ve always been a big supporter of theirs because I
believe in their mission, their purpose and their amazing results; their network
supports approximately 63,000 local charitable agencies that distribute food
directly to Americans in need."

"Everywhere our guests go this season, and check in at a Red Roof, they will
have the opportunity to show their holiday spirit by giving to a worthy cause,"
says Marina MacDonald, SVP, Sales and Marketing, Red Roof Inn. "Red Roof is
happy to reward our guests` generosity-it`s the perfect way to celebrate
Thanksgiving."

The promotion will also be supported through various channels including a series
of Phil Vassar radio interviews across the country; radio promotions;
Redroof.com banners that link to the Feeding America website for additional
donations; a reservation center on-hold message recorded by Vassar; lobby
posters and front desk materials in 350+ hotels; and a GAC-TV spot tag among
other initiatives.

The Red Roof Thanksgiving High Five promotion kicks off a season of savings for
Red Roof guests this winter. See our Snowbird and Red Hot Deals Travel Roundups
