COATS FOR KIDS - $8,500.00 AND COUNTING!
Join us this
Friday, December 6th as we gather at Trail Appliances Richmond to kick off the holiday season with one GIGANTIC donation to the
Lower Mainland and
Surrey Christmas Bureaus, helping families in need.
Everyone is welcome to attend this festive, free event! Guests will be treated warm eats, and sweet treats, choir music by The Partita Choir, Vancouver Bach Family of Choirs, hot cocoa, the Grinch, Cindy Loo Who, and the Gingerbread Man too! Santa will be onsite for photo opps! Bring your whole team and share in the gift of giving. Festivities begin at 8:30am and wrap up at 10:30am.
Last year we collectively donated over 6,000 items and one very large cheque. Word on the street is we are going to break records again this year! Just like in Whoville, when HAVAN members and their communities direct a large amount of effort at a single point - mountains of coats can be built and funds raised! We look forward to sharing in the gift of giving with you this Friday!
DONATE HERE! Bring your donations to Trail Appliances Friday or to one of the 72 drop off locations by Thursday this week!
Thank you to all
72 drop-off locations across 16 municipalities for collecting donations, and a big shout out to our Wrap Up Party Sponsors:
