Lifestream Blood Drive
The CVB hosted a blood drive with Lifestream in March at its office in Rancho Mirage. CVB staff and Partners came out to donate resulting in 33 units collected, over 30% more than our goal for the drive. Wild Rose Spa partnered to offer mini spa treatments for donors and Pastry Swan Bakery provided treats. The drive helped to not only collect donations but also raise awareness among our tourism Partners about the serious need for blood donations in our community. Lifestream donated $5 from each collection to the Greater Palm Springs Tourism Foundation. The “donor group code” 9MTS is still active and can be used by anyone donating blood to Lifestream to support the Tourism Foundation going forward.

The Greater Palm Springs Tourism Ambassador program held 4 CTA enrollment classes in March and April. The program has certified 103 CTAs to date. In addition to the ongoing partner freebies and discounts offered on CTANetwork.com, CTAs were offered the opportunity to attend the ANA Inspiration Golf Tournament in Rancho Mirage in April as a benefit for being in the program.

Hiring for the Partnership Manager, who will run the program operations, is currently underway. Survey responses from class participants remain strong with over 94% rating the program excellent or very good. Updates to the program in March and April have included a new video that helps illustrate the power of branding and time before class starts for students to add the VisitGreaterPalmSprings.com badges to their mobile home screens for easy access during and after class.
