TOY DRIVE ALERT!

Every Christmas we know that some children will not be getting any holiday gifts. With the current economic situation, Christmas will be especially difficult for many San Antonians this year. Starting Monday November 30th The Fairmount Hotel and Mission Park, in conjunction with the Miss San Antonio American Beauty Pageant, will be collecting toys for San Antonio kids. Collection boxes will be outside all the locations of Mission Park Funeral Homes and at The Fairmount Hotel. On December 13th there will be boxes placed at the Thiry Auditorium at Our Lady of the Lake University where will the annual pageant for Miss San Antonio American Beauty will be held. All boxes will be picked up December 21st at 5:00 pm.

Half of the items will be donated to the Santa Rosa’s Children’s Hospital to be sorted and handed out to all the children spending Christmas Day in the hospital. On average, there are 200 children in Santa Rosa hospital on Christmas day. Some of these children will never leave the hospital.

The next stop will be to hand deliver the remainder of the toys to the Children’s Shelter on Christmas Eve! Santa and the Miss San Antonio American Beauty Representatives will be delivering the toys personally and doing activities with the kids. The Children’s Shelter holds up to 56 children at a time and ages range from infant to 14 years. Children come and go, so they are always in need of new things (clothes,bedding,etc.) to give them.

Please make sure the items are new and unwrapped!

Thank you for supporting the Miss San Antonio American Beauty Scholarship Pageant along with Mission Park Chapels and The Fairmount Hotel in our efforts to provide these children with something special for Christmas! Everyone deserves a wonderful holiday season. Spread the cheer!
