Affinia Launches First "Pajama Drive" to Benefit Common Ground NEW YORK (October 2009) - Affinia Hotels asks: What's more comfortable than eating ice cream with pajamas? Affinia Hotels, known for providing customized comfort to enhance every guest experience, is encouraging guests to do just that: Enjoy refreshing Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream while lounging in comfy Lands' End pajamas during its month-long "Comforthon". During "Comforthon," Affinia's hotels in NYC, Chicago and Washington, DC will be providing various comfort enhancing activities for guests. For example, the Affinia Manhattan will serve warm cookies at check-in and schedule family movie nights on select dates throughout the month. The Affinia Chicago will host a Luxe Comfort Day featuring SPAffinia shoulder massages and complimentary naps the day before the Chicago Marathon. The Affinia 50 will host Sunday night football in its den with light snacks. The October 1st date also marked the launch of Affinia Hotel's year-long Pajama Drive inviting guests and the public to drop off pajamas at each of its hotels in New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. All donated pajamas are laundered and distributed to former homeless men and women who have transitioned from the street to housing facilities owned and managed by Common Ground, whose mission is to end homelessness through the development of supportive housing and other research-based practices. The public can also participate by booking the Comfort package which includes one pair of Lands' End cotton pajamas customized with the Affinia logo; two single serving containers of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, in-room breakfast for two or Breakfast in Bed and late check-out. The package is priced per night (based on double occupancy) starting at $279 in NYC, $159 in D.C. and $189 in Chicago and is available from October 1 to March 31, 2010. For every package booked, Affinia Hotels will donate $10 to Common Ground. Additional logoed Lands End pajamas are available for sale for $50 when customizing a profile through www.affinia.com/myaffinia.
