A cup of cocoa is a warm winter treat to hold and sip; but it can also warm your heart. This holiday season you can sweeten the efforts of many local non-profits by purchasing items from the concessions located next to the outdoor skating rink. Look for the Nuevo Leon Mex-Mex Restaurant booths to see a menu of food and beverages.  Or, take the kids to visit Santa’s House across the street for a magical photo experience with the man in the big red suit.

Every visit to the concession stand generates a contribution to organizations such as Boy Scout troops, church ministries, school booster clubs, PTA groups, art associations, and other charitable entities within the City of Farmers Branch.  The fundraiser is set to begin December 1, 2018 and continue until January 6, 2019.

 

This is a detailed list of the organizations and the date that they will be on-site assisting with concessions.  All tips received and 25% of the concession sales on that day go directly to their philanthropic goals.
