Marta Hobbsis the co-founder of CheapCaribbean.com, Inc - the largest website in the world dedicated to travel in the Caribbean and Mexico, which she started along with her husband “Caribbean Jim” in 2000.

Having immigrated to the United States from Poland at the age of 12 with her parents and sister, Marta and her family began their residence in America in Brooklyn, NY. Attending US schools with little knowledge of the English language was only the first challenge. Soon Marta was working part time while paying her way through Hofstra University and majoring in TV Production. Working for NBC and Fox Sports while taking college courses, Marta met her future husband, Jim. A few years later they married and welcomed their daughter Mira into the world. Suddenly the hours of late night TV newscasts weren't as appealing to a great family life. Marta and Jim set out on a mission to star their own company after a vacation in the Caribbean and a newly found love for the islands and their culture.

Over a decade later the two are proud founders and owners of www.CheapCaribbean.com - the largest website in the world booking travel to the Caribbean and Mexico. The company presently employs 350 people with offices in Pennsylvania, Texas and Arizona (main call center located in Doylestown, PA) and a cruise division in Florida. A basic idea of providing dream vacations at reasonable prices paired with US-based customer service and treating every client and vendor as family, quickly grew into a multi-milion dollar business. While building new offices and running the Doylestown office, Marta gave birth to the couples' son, AJ, in late 2003.

In 2011 Marta left her position at CheapCaribbean to spend more time with her children. After a decade of starting, growing and running a business along with her husband "Caribbean Jim," only one career goal was left unfulfilled... one of being involved in a charity-based organization. Even though Jim and Marta set out to give back as much as they could while running CheapCaribbean, they quickly learned this was limited if one wanted to be successful and profitable in his/her business venture. Therefore, Marta was thrilled to be approached by Marci to join the Board of For Pete's Sake, an organization with which CheapCaribbean has worked with for years. Providing respites for FPS families and support for Marci and her team was just the beginning. Marta is honored and excited to be a part of the FPS team and looks forward to dedicating herself to serving the organization and its beneficiaries on a more regular basis.

The results of this audit are available on our website for the calendar years ending 12/31/01, 12/31/02, 12/31/03, and for the fiscal years ending 06/30/05, 06/30/06, 06/30/07, 06/30/2008, 6/30/2009, 6/30/2010, 6/30/2011, and 6/30/2012.
