Toys for Tubs 2FM and St. Vincent de Paul

2010-11-16T07:37:00.000-08:00

Have you heard about the appeal on the Ryan Tubridy 2fm show?

Portrait.ie are proud to be associated with this great cause.
Ryan thinks all children should be "recession proof" this Christmas and we agree!
The appeal is for people to donate a NEW toy to a deserving boy or girl this Christmas.
It's a great way to help others and also to give our own children in the gift of generosity!

We are having a SANTA DAY in our studio on December 5th between 12-4pm.
Just come along with your donation and visit Santa. For every donation, Portrait.ie will present you with the gift of a portrait with Santa.

There will be great fun on the day and lots of goodies!
Tell all your friends and family and help support this great cause.

St. Vincent de Paul do great work in our local communities and they have put together a suggested list of toys by age/gender category to help you to buy wisely. (See below)

TOYS FOR TUBS
Count Me In!

Ryan Tubridy wants lots of toys for Christmas. Not for himself, but for all the children around the country who will be in need this Christmas. We're working with our friends in St Vincent de Paul to make sure that no child is without a toy this Christmas morning. Are You In?

GIFT IDEAS:

> Do not wrap the presents - leave them unwrapped!
