HOW VERY MERRY!
THE WOODLANDS MALL ANNOUNCES WINNERS FROM FESTIVAL OF GIVING

Santa Claus came early for seven area residents when their names were selected as winners of special prizes at The Woodlands Mall Festival of Giving. The one-night, three-hour Festival of Giving was held on Sunday, December 2 and benefited area nonprofits that sold tickets and retained 100 percent of the price of the ticket.

Along with an evening filled with music and refreshments, socializing, modeling and exclusive, one-night savings in stores throughout the shopping center, ticket holders were automatically entered into a drawing for a number of prizes from The Woodlands Mall and retailers in the shopping center.

Bianca Hale, The Woodlands, and Robert McCary, Spring, were the two lucky winners of $500 shopping sprees at The Woodlands Mall. Jackie Strong from The Woodlands, won a piece of jewelry, valued at $500 from Bailey Banks & Biddle.

Other winners include:
· Jennifer Bailey, Conroe, who won a gift basket, valued at $50, from Trade Secret;
· Tamera Norris, Montgomery, who won a gift basket, valued at $50, from Godiva Chocolatier;
· Rudy Bueno Jr., Conroe, who won a jewelry gift set, from Gordon’s Jewelers; and
· Christina McGinnis, Houston, who won a $25 gift card from Anthropologie.
