CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY TO KIDS OF BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS
IN PALM BEACH AND MARTIN COUNTIES BY MACY’S
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
West Palm Beach, FLA. (Monday, December 20, 2021) – Macy’s, a supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties held a private holiday experience with over 150 kids across all Macy’s locations in December.
A holiday tradition like no other, BBBS kids were invited to a Macy’s store from Boca Raton, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, Boynton Beach, and Jensen Beach to participate in a magical morning with their families and Big Brother/Sister. Kids received a Santa hat, holiday mask and a $50 gift card to shop before the store opened to the public. Next, they had breakfast where they wrote letters to Santa, made arts and crafts, and put them into the Macy’s mailbox.
For every letter written to Santa, Macy’s will donate to the Make-a Wish America up to 1 million dollars. The kids went on a shopping spree to find gifts for their families. As a thank you, Macy’s was presented with a special BBBS ornament to put on their tree at the store.
“As many of our families are still recovering from effects of the pandemic, this event allowed the children to enjoy the holiday magic at Macy’s. They were grateful to be invited to this wonderful experience” said CEO, Yvette Flores-Acevedo of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
