WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (WENY) – This week's Inspire FLX nomination brought to you by the Watkins Glen Chamber of Commerce is the Philanthropy nomination. The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel has been nominated by the American Red Cross Finger Lakes Chapter. The Harbor Hotel provided a generous donation that went towards Home Fire Preparedness for families in need.

Scott Bell who is the General Manger of the hotel says they worked closely with the American Red Cross to put on their ice bar event this past winter. He says without the American Red Cross, they wouldn't have been able to put on their event.

The American Red Cross helps the hotel advertise and promote the event. The hotel donated $25,000 as well as their annual donation to the American Red Cross.

The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel has donated $175,000 to the American Red Cross Finger Lakes Chapter over the last nine years.
