Gifts to Jamaica sponsors 200 kids to Garfield’s Christmas Wonderland

Gifts to Jamaica, the four-year-old programme of KFC and Pizza Hut – the brands which Restaurants of Jamaica represents – will this year allocate its funds toward sponsoring the participation of 200 children in the three-day Garfield’s Christmas Wonderland Park from December 18 – 20 at Hope Gardens.

According Tina Myers-Matalon, marketing director for KFC and Pizza Hut, the company will transport the 200 children from 32 children’s homes in Kingston & St Andrew, St Catherine, Clarendon, St James, Manchester and St Ann so that they may participate, free of charge, in the Christmas Wonderland.

The Gifts to Jamaica beneficaries, as well as other children participating in Garfield’s Christmas Wonderland Park, will also have free access to Chickyland – the popular games and giveaways tent which KFC and Pizza Hut will mount in the park.

“This top-quality, fun offering for Jamaica’s children and their family members will be the ultimate entertainment – offering great food, shopping, games and much more. KFC and Pizza Hut are very pleased to be able to support the event’s fun profile and to enhance the spirit of Christmas for Jamaica’s children by providing free offerings to many participants in Garfield’s Christmas Wonderland,” Myers-Matalon adds.

She has also disclosed that customers who purchase a KFC Kids Meal have the chance of winning tickets to Garfield’s Christmas Wonderland Park at Hope Gardens.
