A Marriott Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This holiday season, San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter once again helped make the holidays brighter for an A Bridge for Kids student and their family by providing a meaningful and memorable staycation in the heart of San Diego.

For the Magana family, the experience was more than just a night away. It was a rare opportunity to slow down and truly spend quality time together. With long work hours and busy routines, the chance to step outside their daily life and share uninterrupted moments as a family made the experience especially impactful. From playing games and watching movies together to enjoying a delicious family-style dinner, the stay created space for connection and joy.

The Magana family was welcomed into a holiday decorated suite with stunning views, gifts, and exceptional hospitality throughout their stay. From the carefully prepared dinner to breakfast the following morning, valet parking, and the warmth of the Marriott staff, every detail contributed to an experience that felt both special and unforgettable.

“I am incredibly grateful that I was able to spend such meaningful time with my family during the holiday season,” our student shared. “This experience is something I will always remember.”

A Bridge for Kids is deeply grateful to the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter for continuing this tradition of generosity. Their kindness provided not just a staycation, but a cherished holiday memory. One that reminded a family how powerful time together can be.

We are thankful for partners like the Marriott who help us create moments of rest, joy, and connection for the students and families we serve, especially during the holiday season.
