THE GILDED GIVING TREE
100 Women. 100 Wishes. One Incredible Day of Giving.
This year, The Gilded West is giving back, and we need your help!
We're honored to support Dallas Children's Advocacy Center (DCAC) through its annual Holiday of Hope program.
DCAC is an incredible organization dedicated to improving the lives of children who have experienced abuse in Dallas County while leading the fight against child abuse on a national scale.
The holidays can be an especially difficult time for children and families healing from the aftermath of abuse. Each year, DCAC's Holiday of Hope program helps bring comfort, joy, and a little holiday magic to thousands of children and families by providing toys, books, gifts, and cozy essentials.
And this holiday season, we're inviting our Mahjong community to be part of that magic! ❤️
🎁 BRING AN UNWRAPPED TOY. RECEIVE A RAFFLE TICKET!
We're asking every Gilded West guest to bring a new, unwrapped toy or gift to support DCAC's Holiday of Hope.
For EVERY new, unwrapped toy or gift you bring, you'll receive ONE entry into our fabulous Gilded Giving Raffle!
Bring one gift, receive one raffle ticket. Bring three gifts, receive three raffle tickets!
We'll also share DCAC's Holiday of Hope wish lists so you can shop for items that children and families need most this holiday season.
Every gift makes a difference, and every gift gives you another chance to win!
✨ CHOOSE A GOLD TAG. MAKE A WISH COME TRUE.
Don't have time to shop? You can still make an impact!
At the heart of our Sunday celebration will be our Gilded Giving Tree, decorated with 100 beautiful gold tags representing 100 opportunities to give.
