Family holiday event to raise funds for children's charity

The Family Jingle and Mingle is taking place next month, with all proceeds from the event set to be donated to the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada.

There will be plenty of family-friendly activities for people to take part in throughout the day, including picture opportunities with Santa Claus, make-and-take crafts, cupcake decoration workshops, carnival rides, bouncy castles, and even a fire truck to get close to. Separate tickets are needed for the rides and the inflatables.

A number of children's characters will also be wandering around and will pose for photographs. In addition, more than 50 vendors are expected to be on hand to help with last minute holiday shopping dilemmas. The first 500 guests through the door will also receive a free bag full of gifts.

This event is expected to attract approximately 5,000 guests; this includes local companies and their employees. No doubt many of the attendees will come from surrounding towns and cities, like Brampton. Local printing companies are often asked to help advertise events such as this by providing booklet and flyer printing services.

The Family Jingle and Mingle is taking place at the International Centre in Mississauga on December 8, from 10:00am-5:00pm. Advance tickets are $11 for adults, $7 for children aged 3-17 and $31 for a family pass; admission at the door will be $13 for adults, $9 for children and $39 for a family.
