NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, New York-based hotel brand and management company Dream Hotel Group announced a new charity partnership with New York Cares, an organization that brings relief to tens of thousands of New Yorkers in need through its annual coat drive. Rolling out this week, the hotel company is proud to launch several charitable giving initiatives across all its brands – Dream Hotels, Time Hotels, Night Hotels and The Chatwal – to help New York Cares reach its 2016 goal of 125,000 winter coats collected for New Yorkers in need.
Every year, thousands of New Yorkers rely on the help of volunteer organizations like New York Cares to keep warm during the harsh winter months. Dream Hotel Group understands the importance of giving back to those in need, especially in the neighborhoods, communities and cities in which its employees live and work.
"Charity starts at home," said Dream Hotel Group CEO Jay Stein. "As a New York-based business, we decided to focus our charitable giving efforts on helping fellow New Yorkers in need this holiday season. New York Cares is on the front lines of that mission, and Dream Hotel Group is honored to partner with them in their efforts."
"We're looking at a cold winter ahead with many more people in need than ever before, so we are thrilled to work with Dream Hotel Group to help spread the warmth this holiday season," noted Steve Streicher, Director of Communications at New York Cares. "It's partners like Dream Hotel Group that really make a difference in helping us reach and exceed our goal of donating more coats to those who need them most."

Priced at $40, the sale of one Chatwal Charlie teddy bear will provide two new winter coats to a New Yorker in need.
