One of the leading names in the hotel and entertainment industry has teamed up with the world's foremost autism science and advocacy organization to continue an initiative that builds awareness and raises money for non-profit organizations through Gaylord Hotel's 'Rooms for Good' program.
Throughout the year, Gaylord chooses non-profit charities to support during a two month span. In a recent press release, Gaylord Hotels has announced that their March/April partner will be Autism Speaks. The hotel will donate a portion of proceeds raised through a special package rate available at all four Gaylord Hotel resorts throughout March and April to Autism Speaks.

The 'Rooms For Good' package rate starts at $179 per couple, per night. They do vary per hotel. Rate are based on availability and are offered at all Gaylord Hotel resorts, located in Nashville, TN, Washington, D.C., Orlando, FL and Dallas, TX.
