MORGANTOWN, WV (7/17/2025) National Root Beer Float Day is August 6, 2025. This day holds a special place for Marriott. Founders J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott launched their 9-seat A&W Root Beer stand in Washington, D.C. to cool off from the summer heat. From there, the Marriott family expanded their business into what we know today as a leader in the hospitality industry. To honor their history and legacy, Marriott properties will host Root Beer Float socials during the month of August to benefit local member hospitals of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Marriott has been a supporter of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals from the very beginning as their first corporate partner in 1983 and raising over $165M in their over 40 year partnership. Funds raised go to the local member hospital ensuring kids in that community receive the best possible care. When: August 4th, 2025 thru August 10th, 2025. The main day will be August 6th, 2025.
