Friendship Forged by a Passion to Help
For the first time ever, Courtyard by Marriott is celebrating “game-changing friendship” by awarding the opportunity of a lifetime to wake up inside the stadium on Super Bowl Sunday. This year’s winner, Denise Ammon, exemplifies the impact that an extraordinary friendship can have in pursing both personal and professional passions.
Ammon’s “game-changing friendship” submission featured her former fellow co-residents whom she met during emergency medicine residency at a Level 1 Trauma hospital in Brooklyn, New York. She credits her success to their unrelenting friendship, after she was told by college counselors that she wasn’t cut out to be a doctor. Ammon went on to attend medical school in New Orleans and ultimately matched to one of her top choices for residency training. The group supported each other during the most strenuous days in residency and continue to guide each other today while serving as emergency room doctors across the country.
“Courtyard’s guests are passionate, energized and disciplined, similar to elite athletes competing to play in the Super Bowl,” said Janis Milham, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, Classic Select Brands. “The story of Denise’s game-changing friendship is the kind of empowerment that we strive to provide our guests in achieving their personal and professional goals. Courtyard is proud to once again partner with the NFL to recognize her success and provide this opportunity of a lifetime.”
Courtyard by Marriott will host Ammon and her three friends for an overnight stay inside a stadium suite transformed into a Courtyard guest room with a view overlooking the field. In addition to winning tickets to Super Bowl LIV, the group will take part in a night of exciting, in-stadium experiences with access to exclusive events throughout the weekend. In another first, this year’s suite will feature the newly designed Courtyard Bistro Bar, providing the winners a taste of Courtyard’s new food and beverage menu.
The Official Hotel of the NFL is also offering Marriott Bonvoy Visa Card members an opportunity to live out their dreams at the Courtyard House presented by Visa, an exclusive Super Bowl LIV celebration on January 31, featuring a live performance by The Chainsmokers and the chance to mingle with NFL stars in Miami.
