Graduates Rely On DonorTravel.com for Vacation Bookings - Commissions to Benefit United Negro College Fund

(PRWEB) May 26, 2005

School’s out for summer and it’s time to travel. As graduates everywhere dust off their passports and begin planning for a well-earned vacation, many are relying on the experts at DonorTravel.com for the best prices and selection available online, plus the benefit of contributing to a charitable organization all in a single click.


“In honor of graduation season, it is fitting that we contribute commissions from our online bookings in June to an educational organization,” said Louis Willacy, founder of Oakland-based DonorTravel.com launched earlier this year on the simple promised of giving back to others. “We’ve selected the United Negro College Fund as the beneficiary.”


As a well-schooled lawyer, entrepreneur, Eagle Scout and online expert, Willacy appreciates the value of a good education. Thanks to the support of DonorTravel.com clients, his site has reached more than $ 5,000 in total bookings since going live a few months ago. That money has directly benefited the impressive list of select charitable partners, which includes the United Negro College Fund.


“From educational support to medical research, our charitable contributions will help make a difference in the lives of others,” explained Willacy, 34, who also oversees Interactive Travel Group and the newest affiliate, TravelWisdom.com, an online travel discussion board. “We are the only online travel resource committed to giving 50% of all our booking commissions to deserving non-profit and charitable organizations.”


Billed as the “feel good” travel site, DonorTravel.com separates itself from other booking portals by providing a one-stop-shopping and giving experience to visitors. Buy travel, contribute to charity, and receive a tax benefit all at the same time on DonorTravel.com. The easy-to-navigate site also hosts among the most comprehensive and competitively priced selection of airfare, hotels, car rentals, cruises and vacation packages available online.


When visitors to DonorTravel.com finish booking their vacation, they then decide among a dozen listed charitable organizations which will receive funds from their spending. Once travel is fulfilled, half of all booking commissions are given to the earmarked charitable groups. If a reservation is pre-paid, DonorTravel.com makes the donation right away.


As an added value to DonorTravel.com visitors, Willacy is offering a special promotional offer to encourage conversation on the http://www.travelwisdom.com message board. Through June 30, anyone who refers a friend to the TravelWisdom.com site to share travel adventures and experiences is eligible for a $ 100 travel credit toward their next booking on DonorTravel.com. The person with the most referrals by the end of the month wins.
