Marriott Bridges Foundation

The Marriott Foundation for People with Disabilities Bridges from School to Work Program is a not-for-product, section 501 (c)(3), organization that helps hundreds of disabled young people who are leaving high school, prepare for the workforce, and find their first jobs. In 2005 the Hospitality and Tourism Program at Roosevelt University began a partnership with the Chicago Bridges chapter. One of the major results of this partnership was the development of the “Bridges Benefit and Silent Auction” which is a fundraiser that supports the weekly job club meetings. Now in its sixth year the event continues to grow rapidly! Over the years, we have raised over $60,000! As a means to increase support and prolonged sustainability for the foundation we are holding a silent auction and this is where we need your help.
