Breathe Easy Rentals is thrilled to announce our partnership with Gulf Tide Vacations in sponsoring the Property Manager Fundraising Challenge, sponsoring A Bed 4 Me, during the month of February 2024.
Brittany Blackman, Breathe Easy Rentals’ Founder and Owner, came across this organization while enrolled with Leadership Walton. We asked her how this passion project came to life, and this is what she shared with us:
“A Bed 4 Me’s mission tugged at my heart strings, and from the day I met them, I knew I wanted to find a way to support them! I have followed them on social media for over a year and each post brings tears to my eyes. You often hear of homelessness or food insecurities, but it never crossed my mind that our local children may not even have a bed to sleep in. There was no better way for the hospitality industry to get involved than for us to sponsor a property manager fundraising challenge! I’m excited to help provide exposure to this amazing, local non-profit and hopefully get some friendly competition going in providing much-needed donations.”

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! This passion project has been near and dear to my heart for some time now, and it makes me so happy to see it come to life! I love locals rallying around locals, and I take comfort in knowing we (the short term rental industry) can give back to our own neighbors. And, a special thank you to Gulf Tide Vacations for sharing this vision with us!– Brittany Blackman
