Giving Back All Wrapped Up in a Bow

The holidays are a time of giving and sharing, sometimes in invaluable ways. Many people head to the malls and shop all day, searching for the perfect presents for their family and friends. At the end of the day, they are exhausted, but it’s all worth it because the perfect gift was discovered; but how to get it home without ruining the surprise?

Valley West Mall annually houses a Holiday Gift Wrap Booth in center court for Children’s Cancer Connection. The booth is completely run by Children’s Cancer Connection volunteers who take time from their busy holiday schedules to wrap gifts for holiday shoppers.

Trisha Barton, Director of Marketing for Valley West Mall, said they continue to support Children’s Cancer Connection because it impacts local families right now.

“There are a lot of organizations that deal with cancer research and things that look to the future, hoping to one day cure these terrible diseases,” Barton said. “Children’s Cancer Connection is there now, when the families find out that this is happening to their family.”


Make sure to stop by the Children’s Cancer Connection Holiday Gift Wrap Booth when you are out holiday shopping. Our volunteers would love to help make that perfect present, just a little more special.
