#ChampionsForKids spotted at: Marriott headquarters and a Nationals game. It’s day three

Marriott International has been a partner of CMN Hospitals since the beginning, raising more than $110 million for sick and injured kids. Today, New York Champion Teddy sat down with Marriott International president and CEO Arne Sorensen at the Marriott headquarters in Bethesda, MD. They talked about charitable giving, the property with the best pool and how Arne inspires the culture of giving amongst Marriott employees.

Meanwhile, back in the District, bravery was the theme at a meeting with Champion families, Miss America and U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, M.D. The Surgeon General urged Champions to stay strong through their ambassadorship, reminded them of the importance of kindness and even donated $100 to show support.
