Sabre Employees to Volunteer at Nonprofits in over 39 Countries around the World
LEWISVILLE, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Connecting people with the world`s greatest travel possibilities is the everyday
business of Sabre Holdings, and connecting with communities is one if its
priorities. The strong partnership Sabre has with the community extends far
beyond Dallas and Fort Worth, reaching out to more than 39 countries around the
world where Sabre has offices or home-based employees including Poland, UK,
India, Argentina and Australia. 

On April 6th, Sabre Holdings` CEO, Sam Gilliland will join 100 members from
Sabre`s executive management team in exchanging their business attire for
T-shirts, blue jeans and tool belts to kick-off a week of global volunteerism at
Christian Community Action (CCA) in Lewisville, Texas. 

CCA is an organization that has been meeting the needs of the poor in North
Texas for more than three decades. CCA serves 12,000 individuals annually, who
are in crisis by providing food, housing, medical care and vocational training
along with vital personal support and most of all giving hope to the 12,000
individuals CCA serves annually. 

"Giving back is part of who we are at Sabre - as one family and as an individual
- we are leaving our mark across the globe," said Chris Serafin, Senior Vice
President for Sabre`s Product and Solutions division, and 2010 Global Give
Together Campaign Chair. "Our Volunteer Week is part of our Better Travel,
Better World mission at Sabre. We believe that travel allows people to transform
the world through human discovery and understanding, by providing meaningful
opportunities for lives and cultures to intersect. For me personally, it is very
rewarding to see the clear difference we make - demonstrating how just a few
hours of our time can positively impact and sustain the lives of those in need
for the better, and long after we have left." 

Sabre`s "Give Time Together Kick Off" at CCA will focus on several eco-friendly
projects including maintenance on CCA housing units and tending of CCA`s
community garden. Four teams of executives will be spring cleaning the grounds
that surround two of CCA`s housing neighborhoods and prepping the community
garden for springtime. Each of the projects align with Sabre`s environmental
sustainability initiatives and commitment to where their employees live and
work. 

Scott Orr, president of CCA, said, "The partnership with Sabre means a great
deal to not only CCA, but also to those we serve. Sabre is making an impact
globally by setting the example of getting involved with nonprofits in Texas and
around the world!"
