Elite Travel Gal is turning 40. (She doesn’t look it!) Her take on luxury hotels is worth following, and I read her infrequent posts and follow her on Twitter (@EliteTravelGal).

She’s raising money for breast cancer research, and is about $800 away from her goal that she’s trying to hit on her birthday.

Generously, Small Luxury Hotels of the World is donating a 5-night hotel stay to reward on of the folks that contribute to her birthday fundraiser.

It’s both what strikes me as a good cause and a generous offer. Now, I haven’t run the numbers, but on a net present value basis the prize may even be worth the donation! That’s not the reason to give, of course. If you decide to help Stacy out, that would be a meaningful gesture.

Thanks for your contributions, Stacy, and happy birthday!
