Breaking News From The North Pole
We have just recieved a reply to our invitation to Santa, Mrs Claus and the Elves at the North Pole.
The Real Santa, Mrs Claus and the elves have accepted our invitation
to visit us once again at this years new Winter Wonderland location, the amazing Ballinlough Castle in Co Meath.
Santa, Mrs Claus and the elves will be visited by 180 children with debilitating and life threatening illnesses selected from numerous hospitals from the entire Island of Ireland.
This spectacular 3 day event is on 9th 10th and 11th of December .
This is the real Santa as all who have been lucky enough to meet him know.
He knows everything about all of the children.
Last year to the amazement of one slightly sceptical girl named Chloe.
Santa was able to list off all Chloe’s 13 brothers and sisters their names and ages.
Rover her dog, Nimo her goldfish, Ms Brown her teacher, and she got a little embarrassed when Bubbles the chief Elf mentioned David.
Tinsel another of the Elves said I think Chloe fancies David.
Chloe confirmed with slight embarrassment, yes she did in fact like David.
Santa and the elves then reassured Chloe about her upcoming operation which made her and her family feel much better.
Its amazing, seeing first hand, Santa’s magic in action.
Peter Harris from the Bubblegum Club said we are honoured once again to have the Real Santa help us in our quest to organise Extraordinary Experiences For Extraordinary Children.
Especially the children who because of there circumstances, can’t experience the magic of Christmas to its fullest.
The Bubblegum Club will have numerous expenses with this event. Our funding is down 79%.
We need your help, we can’t do it without you, be a part of Christmas and help us bring a little bit of magic into sick children’s lives.
They are ready to believe, you can make it happen.
Be part of this amazing experience and PLEASE make a donation, no matter how small on paypal, or you can post it to The Bubblegum Club 14 Mellifont Avenue Dun Laoghaire County Dublin Ireland
Thank you from the children of the Bubblegum Club for making a difference to there lives, putting a smile on their faces and making them forget all about their illness for one day.
