Sage Hospitality hotels are encouraging volunteerism with its Give a Day Get a Night promotion. If you do at least eight hours of community service at a 501c3 organization (like Meals on Wheels or Habitat for Humanity) between July 1 and December 20, 2009, you're eligible for a complimentary night stay or 50 percent discount on hotel rooms at any of Sage's 52 hotels. The properties include hotels like [1] The Nines in Portland, OR and The Blackstone in Chicago.

You can contact the hotel directly to make a reservation and mention the promotion. They'll ask you to provide a letter on the nonprofit organization's letterhead proving that you've completed at least eight hours of volunteer work in the given time period.
