Wyndham Announces National Partnership With the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1999--

`Dream for the Cure' Will Promote Breast Cancer Awareness

in 35,000 Wyndham Hotel Rooms

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE:WYN) will be the national hotel partner of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and will honor National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October with "Dream for the Cure(TM)," by promoting breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment in each of its nearly 35,000 rooms in North America(a).

"We are proud to join forces with an organization that is leading the fight against breast cancer," said Les Bentley, president, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "It's a way for us to give back to our guests and employees who have told us that this issue is important to them."

Wyndham's "Dream for the Cure" program involves the following:

-- Wyndham guests will receive specially designed pillow cards and

pre-addressed envelopes in their room during the month of

October as part of the "Dream for the Cure" promotion, providing

an opportunity to make a donation directly to the Komen

Foundation;

-- Komen Foundation volunteers and staff will utilize Wyndham

properties throughout the next two years for meetings, business

travel and events at a discounted rate or at no charge; and

-- Wyndham International, Inc., the parent company of Wyndham Hotels

& Resorts, will conduct an employee breast health education

program to raise awareness and promote early detection of breast

cancer among its 30,000 employees.

"The Komen Foundation is thrilled to partner with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts in the fight against breast cancer," said Nancy Brinker, founding chair of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. "One of the things we look for in our corporate partnerships is a commitment to not only raise awareness of breast cancer among a company's customers, but also to bring the life-saving message of early detection to the company's employees. Wyndham has that commitment, and we will continue to 'Dream for the Cure' together long after October."

The Komen Foundation estimates that "Dream for the Cure" will generate approximately $1 million in total cash and in-kind donations.

Along with the Komen Foundation, Wyndham is the national hotel partner for several other prominent organizations including the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and the Business and Professional Women's/USA Foundation (BPW/USA).

"Our commitment to women travelers goes beyond providing them with the products and services they want most from a hotel company," said Cary Jehl Broussard, director of Wyndham's Women on Their Way program. "It's supporting them through organizations that are dedicated to helping them succeed and grow professionally and personally."

"As Wyndham continues to grow into a major upscale hotel brand and Women on Their Way continues to expand, you can expect us to become involved even more," she added. "Wyndham also hopes to join forces with other partners of the Komen Foundation in order to help eradicate breast cancer."

The Komen Foundation is fighting to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. In addition to funding research, the Foundation supports education, screening and treatment projects in communities from coast to coast and delivers the life-saving message of early detection to hundreds of thousands of women and men.

Other accomplishments include in-room amenity upgrades, in-room dining enhancements, and strategic partnerships with women advocacy groups, including the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Business and Professional Women USA (BPW), and the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO).
