Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC
Since 1980, Four Seasons Hotel company has organized and participated in annual charity runs and other initiatives all over the world to raise funds towards advancing cancer research, a cause that has been supported by Four Seasons employees since Terry Fox’s historic Marathon of Hope across Canada 39 years ago.
Along highways, through towns and in pouring rain, Terry inspired thousands along a route that was lined with supporters from all walks of life who cheered on his courage and advocacy. Terry succumbed to cancer before reaching his goal. Following Terry’s passing, Isadore Sharp, founder of Four Seasons Hotels, worked closely with the Canadian Cancer Society and other sponsors to ensure Terry’s legacy lived on through an annual run held in his name.
The first Terry Fox Run, held the following year, drew more than 300,000 participants and raised $3.2 million. Supporting Terry’s dream is just one way Four Seasons employees strive to advance cancer research. Through annual runs, golf tournaments, food and beverage promotions and other activities, every Four Seasons hotel and resort actively supports local and regional efforts to find a cure for cancer.
This year, the Four Seasons Hotel Washington DC will honor long time colleague, Julie Saunders who lost her battle to cancer in December 2018. Julie was hired in 1993 and slowly worked her way up to chef concierge and was the first woman to hold that position in the hotel’s 40-year history. She was an inspiration to many and an unwavering resource to the needs of clients. Last year her colleagues rallied to create ‘Julie’s Angels’ shirts to wear as they participated in the race.
2020 will mark the 40th year of the Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC will have been raising crucial funds for cancer research. Our vision is to expand this to a 5K and 10K race that will further engage a broader group of people to rally the community toward one shared goal: #BeatCancer. We look forward to welcoming you on this next venture with us this year and in our 40th year!
“She had this way of making people feel like they were the most important people in the world when she was talking to them. And she very rarely got sidetracked. You knew when you were done with the conversation — whatever she told you was going to happen would happen.”
- David Bernand,
Four Seasons General Manager and Regional Vice President
