United Way of Northern BC will be hosting a “Drive-Thru to Donate” event on December 19th at the Powerhouse Plaza.
From 3 to 5 pm, residents are welcomed to make donations to light the bulbs and strings on the Tree of Lights from their vehicles to adhere to Physical Distancing guidelines.
Attendees are welcomed to come as they are or sport their favourite Christmas attire, Santa will be on-site to interact with passing cars and listen to requests from children.
The first 200 people to drive through with a donation will receive a Mcdonald’s hot chocolate coupon and a candy cane.
Additionally, the first 50 people to donate will receive a $10 Mr.Mike’s gift card, and anyone who attends the event will be entered in a draw for a number of prizes.
This year, the Tree of Lights festival hopes to raise $30,000 to provide programs and services that help battle the ongoing drug abuse and overdose crisis in PG.
Donations to the event can also be made on the United Way website.
