the Tap Project," said Caryl Stern, president and CEO, U.S. Fund for UNICEF. "Forming a partnership with a hotelier that has focused its attention towards green systems - inclusive of water - will accelerate our ability to help more children faster and ultimately reverse the 25,000 daily deaths of these children from preventable causes. Strategic's geographic reach in highly influential markets will be a great benefit to our 2009 campaign."

Strategic's hotels participating in the 2009 program follow:

San Francisco: Westin St. Francis and Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay

Los Angeles: Loews Santa Monica

Orange County: Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel

San Diego: Hotel Del Coronado, Hyatt Regency La Jolla

Phoenix/Scottsdale: Fairmont Princess

Chicago: Fairmont, Intercontinental, Marriott Lincolnshire

Miami: Intercontinental

Washington D.C.: Four Season's

Last year, the Tap Project proved once again to be a phenomenal success with more than 2,300 restaurants from 44 states officially registered to participate in the 2008 Tap Project. "We hope that by providing UNICEF with access to our hotels, we can help to make a difference for many thousands of children who would otherwise suffer," added Laurence Geller.

UNICEF works in more than 90 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices. Over the past 15 years, more than a billion people gained access to improved drinking water and sanitation facilities thanks to UNICEF's efforts. However, every day, 4,200 children still die of water-related diseases. UNICEF's goal is to reduce the number of these needless deaths to zero. With $1, UNICEF can provide 40 liters of safe drinking water, which is enough to give one child safe drinking water for 40 days.
