Habitat of Greensboro and Wyndham Championship Rebuild “Key to Wyn” House

For the third-consecutive year, Wyndham Rewards donated Wyndham’s “Key to Wyn” house to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro so it could be recycled into a new home. Reconstruction of the house, which was funded through Habitat Greensboro’s “Summer Bash” fundraiser, began this morning in northern Greensboro with volunteers representing the Wyndham Championship staff, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the homeowners and Habitat Greensboro personnel working on the project, the organizations announced today. “Key to Wyn” is a fan amenity created by Wyndham Rewards several years ago to illustrate the Wyndham hospitality experience at the PGA TOUR event. Fans are given a hotel key card upon entering “Key to Wyn,” and they use the key to open a hotel-style door. If the door opens, the fan wins a prize from Wyndham Rewards or one of its partners. After the Wyndham Championship in August, the “Key to Wyn” structure was carefully disassembled, loaded onto trucks and later delivered to the Habitat site where it is being rebuilt. Sometime late this winter when the house is complete, Safa, Almois** and their four children will move into their new home. Habitat for Humanity partners with families that have had steady employment for one year, participate in a thorough credit analysis, attend educational classes on budgeting and home repair and contribute 250 hours of sweat equity. Homeowners purchase their homes from Habitat at no profit and with zero percent financing. Habitat then serves as the mortgage lender providing life-of-the-loan financing and loan servicing to Habitat homeowners. “We are so honored to receive this incredible contribution from Wyndham Rewards and the Wyndham Championship again this year,” Habitat Greensboro CEO Maria Hanlin said. “We also appreciate everyone who attended or donated to this year’s “Summer Bash,” our annual fundraiser that contributed $75,000 to this home. Our new homeowners, Safa and Almois**, are looking forward to working alongside volunteers from the Wyndham Championship, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and CoreLogic to rebuild their new home. This third “Key to Wyn” house donation will open the door for this family to a safe, affordable place to call home and transform their family for generations to come.” “Key to Wyn” was created to showcase the vast variety of properties offered by Wyndham Rewards and the companies it links, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Wyndham Destinations. It has taken on multiple forms since the fan amenity’s debut in 2010. The original version featured an open-air hotel lobby that one might find at a resort on a tropical island. In 2014, “Key to Wyn” transitioned to a mountain ski lodge featuring frigid indoor conditions with a fireplace, cozy couches and skiing simulators. Outside, pine trees and August snow greeted guests who walked over a creek to enter the building. In 2016, “Key to Wyn” once again featured warm climates with a beachside-cottage theme, and last year, “Key to Wyn” was a salute to the best in southern living. In 2018, it returned to the tropical resort lobby with a reflection pool and fish tank. Regardless of the type of Wyndham property “Key to Wyn” features, two constants remain: signature Wyndham Rewards hospitality and a chance to win fabulous prizes.
