New sponsor of Secret Santa Appeal 2015

JCI Bradford’s Secret Santa Appeal acquires new sponsor and not just any sponsor but their long term appeal partner, The Kirkgate Shopping Centre.

Catherine Riley, Centre Manager said “We’re delighted that the opportunity to sponsor the event came up.  We’ve been closely involved with the Junior Chamber Secret Santa Appeal for 25 years and it feels like this year it’s coming home. We hope it will be a bumper year for the appeal which is always so popular with our generous shoppers.”

The appeal runs between November 28th and December 13th and collects new presents for the district’s most needy children and families.  On average 3,500 gifts a year are collected bringing a smile to those less fortunately at Christmas.

Michelle Pemberton, Community Director of JCI Bradford said “I was delighted to hear that the Kirkgate Shopping Centre had agreed to sponsor the appeal.  I know Catherine Riley and the team at the Kirkgate have always given JCI their full support to ensure we had a successful appeal.    There is so much positivity around Bradford at the moment and this is another good news story of a local business supporting a project that is very close to many Bradfordian’s hearts.”
