This Christmas, Ray White will continue its popular tradition of giving with the return of a little Ray of giving.
The inspiring Christmas campaign will see Ray White Frankston partner with Anglicare Victoria and The Rotary Club of Frankston Sunrise to help disadvantaged children who may need a little extra light in their festive season.
The Ray White team are calling on the local community to embrace the giving season and dig deep for children who need it most.
“This is the fifth year that we’ve run a little Ray of Giving and we want 2018 to be our biggest year yet. We urge everyone who is able to bring in a gift in for those families who are less fortunate,” said principal, Ash Weston.
“All you need to do is drop off your gift to our office at 36 Playne Street, Frankston to go under our Christmas tree into our office reception – you don’t even need to wrap it,” said Ash. “Your generous gifts will help children acquire the skills and knowledge they need to build a better future.”
Anglicare are seeking new toys, books and educational items for 0–14 year-olds.
