Almost every fundraiser asks for money,
but this one asks holiday shoppers to do what they love to do ... SHOP & DINE!
18% on the 18th!
During this second annual holiday event, 18% of sales made from 3 to 7pm (on the 18th) will be donated by participating Downtown businesses to community non-profit organizations of the customer's choice.
And again this year to help let everyone know about this special event, participating community non-profit organizations will be spreading the word to their supporters through their newsletters, e-notices and special events. (Please see list of organizations below.) A great example of "cross-marketing" that benefits all involved.
Attendees will Mingle with their neighbors and help put some Jingle into the hands of their favorite organizations while enjoying the sounds and decorations of the season in Downtown Bay City.
The following twenty-eight (28) participating Downtown Bay City shops and eateries will be donating 18% of their sales during the event:
