Port
St. Joe marketing company’s logo design is chosen to represent the 2010
Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Panama City Rescue Mission’s
women’s home, Bethel Village
The Panama City Rescue Mission announced the winner of its logo
competition for the
2010 Festival of Trees: Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child. Port St. Joe Company, Kerigan Marketing Associates, Inc., www.kerigan.com
submitted the winning design, to be used in all the 2010 Festival of Trees
promotions.
“We knew we wanted to convey the magic of Christmas,” Panama City
Rescue Mission’s Development Director Amanda Bawn stated, “and to
children everything looks so much bigger than it really is.”
Kerigan Marketing’s design will help
them convey that message, which “ inspired the logo
elements of a small child looking up in wonder at a towering present. We
think this scene really captures the magic felt by so many children at
Christmas,” said Catherine Nol of Kerigan Marketing
Festival of Trees has become a family Christmas tradition and enables
local artists and designers to design beautiful Christmas items for
charity.The items are judged
in competition and made available for auction. Visitors can enjoy the
sights and sounds of the season during special mini-events (by
invitation only Nov 30 – Dec 2) or during the general admission (on December 3, from 5 pm to 9 pm)!All proceeds help Bethel
Village, the Rescue Mission’s home for recovering homeless women and
families.
Additionally, on Friday December 3, the Mission will also host a “Lunch
with Santa.”This fieldtrip,
for our schools’ homeless children, allows them to enjoy the
beautiful trees, learn about the History of Christmas, meet Santa, and
receive gifts.
