Results of a Christmas cheer fundraising program in the qathet region have been released by Oceanside Entertainment.

“We are absolutely thrilled to announce the results of our Christmas cheer fundraising campaign,” said Oceanside Entertainment owner Karyne Bailey. “We toppled donations compared to last year.”

In 2023, a total of $1,820.69 was collected by rounding up to the next dollar at checkout.

“This year, our new till system allowed customers to add tips, which brought in $2,727.36, specifically for the program,” added Bailey. “This means more smiles, more joy and tons of holiday cheer.”

“We are proud to share that we have filled three boxes with gift certificates, toys, board games, Hot Wheels, crafts and more for local children this holiday season.”

Bailey also mentioned “18 wonderful individuals” who came to the store to purchase an item at 40 per cent off to donate directly to the campaign.

“Your kindness has not gone unnoticed, and we appreciate every single one of you.”

As a pampering treat for all the hardworking moms, Oceanside Entertainment donated bath bombs to help them relax and destress during this busy time of year.

“Together, we are making a lasting impact and spreading the gift of cheer this Christmas,” said Bailey. “Your kindness and contributions have brought joy and cheer to many families. Thank you for being a part of our mission and for sharing the spirit of giving.”
