December 9th, 2010Charities Celebrate Tourism’s Generosity
The Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul, Lifeline and the Douglas Shire community are all recipients of this year’s donations from the 7th annual Quicksilver Group Christmas charity appeal. The appeal has attracted more than $10,000 worth of food and gifts from the local tourism industry. Over 70 accommodation houses, tour desks, hotels, local suppliers and members of the community have donated to this worthy cause.
“The overwhelming support and generosity of the local tourism industry and friends of tourism continues to amaze and impress us,” said Michael Healy Quicksilver Group Manager Sales and Marketing, “It has been a tough year for all industry in our region and the charities are in need more than ever. Everything donated will certainly help make this Christmas much happier for a lot of families and people in need. We hope that we all can make a difference to peoples’ joy this Christmas.”
Quicksilver decided to once again to use the money they would normally contribute to buying gifts for these agents and suppliers, and instead purchased items for local charities.
“The local tourism community has really opened up their wallets and hearts for this year’s appeal, with a fantastic range of food and gifts to help others celebrate a bountiful Christmas.”
