Giving Globally

As the world we travel enriches the lives of our guests and team members immeasurably, Crystal is committed to giving back to its communities and destinations in a variety of ways.

These encompass environmental, health, social services, education, arts and culture, pediatric and geriatric groups and have included:

• The American Red Cross
• The American Heart Association
• The Susan G. Komen Foundation
• The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
• PAWS Humane Society 
• City of Hope
• March of Dimes
• United Way
• Special Olympics of Florida

• Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts
• Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra
• TOKI Rapa Nui School of Music & Arts (Easter Island)
• Camillus Health

Several of the worldwide organizations that Crystal’s “You Care, We Care” Voluntourism Excursions visits also receive tangible donations of funds and other much needed resources, some of which have included:
