Photos from the Pan Pacific Vancouver Christmas Wish Breakfast
What a day!
No less than an hour ago, we wrapped up the Pan Pacific Vancouver’s 23rd Annual Christmas Wish Breakfast.
Between 6am-9am this morning, the Hotel saw over 4,000 generous Vancouverites come through our lobby to donate toys and cash to theLower Mainland Christmas Bureau.
The Xmas Wish Breakfast is the Pan Pacific’s unofficial day of Christmas where we invite everyone in the city to join us in a lil’ gift giving and a complimentary breakfast on the house.
The jury is still out as to how many toys we collected, but we’re estimating we received over 25,000 toys this morning.
On hand at today’s event wasGlobal TV, Jack FM and Vancouver super bloggers: Kris Krug, Vancity Buzz, Miss604, John Biehler and Erin Ireland.
Even despite the gloomy weather, the event turned out to be a huge success with tons of gift giving and an early start to celebrating Christmas.
If you missed any of the action, check out a few photos from the event!

These guys really got in the gift giving spirit! Who wouldn’t want a snowboard, hockey stick and a giant Buzz Light Year?

The Vancouver Fire Fighters Union played a huge part in making our event possible with over 2 dozen firefighters on hand to help with the toy collecting. They even made this generous donation to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau.
Aerocar was one of our largest contributors donating over 5,000 toys!!
