SkyView Atlanta Kicks Off December Winter Wonderland Charity Drive
Partnering with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, The Atlanta Mission and Toys for Tots
Online, December 6, 2013 (Newswire.com) - SkyView Atlanta, the exciting new 200-foot tall Ferris Wheel located in Centennial Olympic Park, invites the media to attend the kick off of their 2013 Winter Wonderland charity drive this Sunday, Dec 8th at 1:00 pm. Starting on the 8th and for each following weekend in December until Christmas, any child 12 and under who takes a "flight" on SkyView will be treated to hot cider, candy canes and a chance to pick one of thousands of toys from under our tree.
And SkyView wants to do even more to give back to Atlanta. Everyone who visits the Winter Wonderland will be invited to make a donation to three special charities being supported by SkyView during this season - Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, The Atlanta Mission, and Toys for Tots. SkyView Atlanta will be delivering hundreds of toys to each of these charities in coming weeks to help needy children have a happy holiday season.
"Our first six months in Atlanta have been such a wonderful success, we wanted to give something back to the city, and especially to all the children who love this amazing Ferris Wheel," said SkyView Atlanta Managing Partner Todd Schneider. "It just made sense for us to celebrate the season by giving away a bunch of toys and raising money for these important charities."
The December 8th Winter Wonderland kickoff event at 1:00pm will include appearances by Hope and Will, the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mascots, as well as members of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots campaign.
