“The Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) is the school where I found my sound. I think it’s important to cultivate musicianship and CIM’s teachers do just that. I want to thank John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts for their support in creating a scholarship in my name. My hope is that it will further the music education of another aspiring pianist.”

Community

John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts has earned an impressive reputation for strengthening communities through a heartfelt commitment to giving back.

Seeing to the needs of others is an integral part of the hospitality way of life at John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts. Our more than 9,000 associates are able to effectively align with corporate social responsibility causes of the stellar brands within our 78-property hotel portfolio, such as Marriott’s Feeding America and Children’s Miracle Network initiatives and Embassy Suites Hotels’ commitment to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

The city of Springfield is an obvious benefactor of the significant impact that Mr. Hammons and his lovely wife Juanita Hammons make with their commitment to giving. Their millions of dollars in charitable contributions support local education, wellness, performing arts and sport initiatives enjoyed by thousands in the area.

This spring John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts was proud to present a black-tie concert for charity at The Tower Club with two-time Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling artist Jim Brickman. As a part of the elegant event, the John Q. Hammons Foundation made a $10,000 donation to support the Convoy of Hope in its relief efforts globally and a $10,000 contribution to The Jim Brickman Scholarship for The Cleveland Institute of Music to cultivate musicianship.
