QUÉBEC CITY, Nov. 28, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - After
proudly donating $160,000 to the
Opération Enfant Soleil telethon in
2018, Cominar is back with the second edition of its Forest of
Stars, this time with an even more ambitious objective. The
official launch will take place December 1 in all of Cominar's
18 shopping centres in Quebec, in conjunction with over
150 partner companies. This year's fundraising target is
$180,000.
Cominar's Forest of Stars was created in 2017 and held in all of
the company's shopping centres across the province in order to take
advantage of the customer traffic generated by the holiday season
to support Opération Enfant
Soleil.
Maxime Landry has agreed to serve
as the campaign ambassador and spokesperson once again. He is
joined this year by his good friend Annie
Brocoli. They will visit Cominar shopping centres in
December to spread some holiday joy.
A storybook entitled The Tale of Stars, specially created
for the campaign, along with a dessert known as the ChocoFox, made
using 3D technology, will be to added to the on-site ornament
workshops. Proceeds from the merchandise sales and workshops will
go to Opération Enfant Soleil.

of Stars, go to cominarforestofstars.com.
