Toys in Need for the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau and Xmas Wish Breakfast
With only a couple weeks to go, the 26th annual Pan Pacific Vancouver Christmas Wish Breakfast is taking place on Wednesday December 11 from 6-9 at the Hotel. (For more info visit our Xmas Wish Details post).
Each year the Hotel receives thousands of toys that are donated to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau. The gift most commonly received are stuffed animals for kids – however teenagers are in the most need of toys during the Holidays season. While the Xmas Bureau appreciates ALL gifts given, they request that donors offer toys for older kids and teenagers……and even put together a wish list for Santa!
