LIGHTING UP THE CHRISTMAS CHARITY TREE 2013
ON DEC 10 AT THE SHANGRI-LA HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR
The Christmas Charity Tree is a meaningful project every year,
initiated by the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala
Lumpur , to raise funds for sick children. Reto
Klauser, Vice-President and General Manager of the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur , will light
up this Christmas Charity Tree on December 10 2013.
This year the Christmas Charity Tree, placed in the Lobby of the
hotel, draws attention with the theme – Santa’s Toy Factory. Beautifully
crafted sugarpieces, made by the hotel’s pastry artists, are stacked up on a
conical steel structure to form a giant Christmas Tree.
Organisations and individuals are invited to sponsor a sugarpiece
with a minimum donation of RM1,000. The donors’ names or company logos are
prominently displayed against each sugarpiece. The money donated will go to
children who are in urgent need of funds for immediate surgeries and medical
care.
The Christmas Charity Tree is an annual charity project titled
“Embrace the Gift of Life” initiated by the Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur to
aid children suffering from severe heart ailments and loss of limbs. Since 1985
the hotel has helped hundreds of critically ill children and raised more than
RM3 million through this Christmas Charity Tree.
