In the spirit of holidays, we're happy to celebrate all of the wonderful things Hyatt hotels and offices are doing in their communities each and every day. Through Hyatt Thrive, Hyatt's global corporate responsibility platform, we're giving those hotels and offices the chance to award those causes they are most passionate about with Hyatt Community Grants. We've been slowly showcasing some of this year's grant recipients, and we are excited to share more for inspiring stories with you today.

But new this year, each of you can vote in Hyatt's Vote. Give. Thrive. campaign on Hyatt's Facebook page for the ones you care most about - and the organizations with the most votes will get additional funding from Hyatt.

So happy holidays, and happy voting!
