August 22 2019 - 9:00AM
RLH Corporation (NYSE:RLH) announced today a collaboration with
National Safe Place Network (NSPN) to designate Americas Best Value
Inn properties as Safe Place® TXT 4 HELP sites – expanding NSPN’s
network and providing more locations in more communities across the
country for youth in crisis to go for help. Americas Best Value Inn
will be the first national hotel sponsor of the program.
NSPN established and operates Safe Place, a national outreach
and prevention program for young people in need of immediate help
and safety. Safe Place has expanded their reach to more communities
by promoting and utilizing TXT 4 HELP sites, which are available in
communities where a “traditional” Safe Place program is not
available.
“Unfortunately, in today’s world, young people face family
problems, homelessness, bullying, neglect, abuse, and even human
trafficking,” said Laurie Jackson, President and CEO of NSPN.
“Each year, the Safe Place and TXT 4 HELP programs directly impacts
the lives of more than 12,000 youth by providing access to
immediate help and safety. TXT 4 HELP has offered real-time
assistance to youth in crisis by responding to more than 117,000
incoming text messages since its inception in 2009. We are excited
to expand our network now with Americas Best Value Inn locations
around the country.”
“National Safe Place Network is a program close to my heart,”
said Greg Mount, RLH Corporation President and Chief Executive
Officer. “I am proud to have our Americas Best Value Inn locations
participate in the program, expanding NSPN’s network, providing
more locations in more communities for youth in crisis to go to for
help, making a difference and direct impact in our Americas Best
Value Inn communities.”
“RLH Corporation is a perfect example of the hospitality
industry’s comprehensive commitment to safety,” said Chip Rogers,
President and CEO of American Hotel & Lodging Association. “The
National Safe Place Network is truly saving lives and is being
significantly enhanced by the addition of hundreds of America’s
Best Value Inns. We hope this example of doing good will be
replicated by companies in every industry.”
