What is Rockin’ Christmas?
Rockin' Christmas takes place every December in Plano - this year Friday
December 7th, 8th & 9th. Individuals and businesses rock in rocking
chairs for donations beginning Friday evening all the way through Saturday
afternoon (over night).
The Rockin’ Christmas event is a way that the community can come
together to help collect and donate non-perishable foods, hats, gloves,
scarves, blankets, toiletries, new toys, new stuffed animals (wrapped
or boxed), baby food and monetary donations.
All donations will be received by many of the Plano area families, elderly
and individuals in need of some extra assistance during this Holiday Season.
Let's help make their Holiday a little brighter and fulfilling. These
donations will go a long way and will help put wonderful smiles on their
faces!!!
In addition to the donations, Rockin’ Christmas helps to bring
the Plano Community together to enjoy many of the family events held downtown
Plano at the Depot beginning Friday evening through Saturday afternoon
- during this time donations flow in.
After the events on Saturday many volunteers begin the sorting of all
the donations collected and Sunday the volunteers help in the delivery
of the donations to all the families, elderly and individuals we have
been asked to assist.
Many of the Plano businesses take part in donating monies to purchase
turkeys, ham, milk and butter - Wal-Mart has been a very strong supporter
of this event every year.
