(11/5/2004) - The Historic Best Western Gettysburg
Hotel today proudly announced plans for their first special holiday charity
event, in which every dollar raised will benefit the Adams County Chapter of
the American Cancer Society.
Key kids! Santa Claus is coming to town on Saturday,
December 4, 2004. The Historic Gettysburg Hotel will host "Breakfast with
Santa" in the Grande Ballroom from 7:30am – 11:30am. Bring your parents and
enjoy a hot breakfast, complete with silver dollar pancakes, eggs, bacon,
sausage, potatoes, donuts, pastries and much more. All children will have the
opportunity to meet Santa and have their picture taken free of charge, as well
as receive a very special Christmas gift.
Cancer has touched the lives of several employees of
the hotel and their families during the past year. Motivated by their personal
experiences and concern for others, the Gettysburg Hotel staff has volunteered
their time and efforts in fighting one of the nation’s number one illnesses,
cancer. The ultimate goal of saving lives and total cancer control can only be
accomplished through countless hours of research. It is in this area that the
staff wants to help the American Cancer Society achieve this goal. Thus far in
2004, over 900 people in Adams County have benefited from the funds made
available by the Society. It is important to also recognize those Companies who
have donated food, supplies and gifts to the event helping to make this event a
success.
We ask that you please join us in accomplishing our
mission by coming to the Grand Ballroom on December 4th. The breakfast is free
for children under three and adults are asked to make a small donation of five
dollars (three dollars for children 4 – 8) to the society. If you are unable to
attend the event, but would like to help us fight for those with cancer, your
tax-deductible contribution can be made payable to the American Cancer Society,
and mailed care of the Gettysburg Hotel. You may obtain further information by
contacting the Historic Gettysburg Hotel at (717) 337-2000 or by email to santa@hotelgettysburg.com.
