Impact Experiences

A memorable and enriching stay can extend well beyond our hotels. That’s why The Ritz-Carlton proudly offers Impact Experiences, providing inspiring opportunities for our guests to contribute to the local community. Impact Experiences are compelling social and environmental impact activities where there is one constant – each program makes a lasting and authentic difference.

Impact Experiences offers on-property activities that can be incorporated into the conference agenda during lunch breaks, receptions, and coffee breaks, including:

• Partnering with the hotel’s culinary team to prepare the ingredients for a regionally adapted dish for donation to a local hunger relief organization;


• Assembling school supplies and art materials in backpacks for donation to students whose academic success is threatened by poverty;


• Collaborating in teams to assemble emergency preparedness kits for shipping to a disaster relief facility or community organization;


• Designing and creating greetings and birthday cards for children in a local pediatric healthcare facility or children’s organization.


• Impact Hour is a platform for leaders from The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints partner organizations to showcase how they are successfully addressing social and environmental issues.

   

  Additionally, Signature Impact Experiences invite our group guests to take part in an off-site volunteer activity, unique to the destination.
  

   

  A Winning Park
  Forest Park in the heart of St. Louis is officially the best city park in the U.S., no surprise given its 1,400 acres that house such cultural treasures as the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Saint Louis Zoo, the Science Center’s James S. McDonnell Planetarium — and more. Group guests can help Forest Park Forever sustain this urban oasis and preserve its history. Team-building activities, from beautification brigades to flora management programs, are designed to maximize and maintain beautiful surroundings.
  
  Please contact your meetings and special events professional for details on how Impact Experiences can be matched to your group's interests and goals.
