New fundraising high for Habitat for Humanity Victoria’s 11th annual
Gingerbread Showcase!
Habitat for Humanity Victoria’s Premier Fundraiser, the 11th Annual Gingerbread Showcase, wrapped-up January 5th 2020 with 17,000 votes cast, hitting a new fundraising high of more than $102,000! This year's donations will go directly towards the construction of one of the eleven new Habitat homes to be started in 2020.
A huge part of the event is inviting the public to vote for the People’s Choice Award but choosing a favourite from among the 29 amazing entries can be very difficult – Lily, age 4, simply voted “All of them!” The votes have now been tallied and the 2019 People’s Choice Award went to Selena Oliveira for her creation Origins.
“Each year, we continue to be amazed by the popularity of this event – it’s such a lovely outing for the whole family and multi-generations to share,” said Yolanda Meijer, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat for Humanity Victoria. “To raise more than $102,000 for our charity to build homes is just astonishing and none of it would be possible without our wonderful hosts, The Parkside Hotel & Spa, our sponsors, including presenting sponsor Revera, and all of the talented bakers and amazing volunteers.”
Habitat Victoria would also like to thank Caffe Fantastico for donating a portion of their coffee and cookie sale proceeds; the Parkside Spa for designating part of the sales of their November and December specials; SW Event Technology for providing lighting; Long & McQuade and Wicker Land for their equipment loan; and media sponsors The Q and The Zone, Used Victoria and Bell Media.
