Every Stay Helps Fight Cancer
When you stay with Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, each stay helps fight cancer through Swim Across America
Why We Give Back
Community is a large part of who we are at Gulf Shore Vacation Rentals. Our mission is to provide exceptional vacation experiences while making a positive impact beyond the beach. We believe in giving back to causes that matter, and that’s why we’ve partnered with Swim Across America.
Every reservation you make helps fund groundbreaking cancer research and patient programs. By choosing Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, you’re not only creating unforgettable memories—you’re helping advance lifesaving initiatives that bring hope to families everywhere.
Who We're Partnering With
We've partnered with Swim Across America (SAA). Founded in 1987, SAA hosts open water and pool charity swims to help raise money to fund cancer research and patient programs at leading institutions across the United States. They have raised over $100 million to support early-stage projects, clinical trials, and survivorship programs since their inception.
How Your Stay Helps
When you book one of our Gulf Shores vacation rentals, part of your reservation will be donated to Swim Across America. Our contributions will be focused on early-stage projects and patient programs that have the most potential for cure and success. SAA mandates that 100% of each grant is applied to approved cancer research or clinical trial projects, not overhead or buildings.
