Jingle Ball this Friday

This Friday December 10th there is an event happening that is both a celebration and a fundraiser. Local television, radio and media personality Arms Bumanlag is hosting the 2nd annual Jingle Ball to benefit Windsor firefighters Sparky’s Toy Drive as well as marking his 29th birthday in style. Koko Pellie's will be the place to be this Friday as Drop Dead Famous rocks the house and Arms himself spins tunes in between sets. The price of admission? An unwrapped toy or $5 at the door will all go to help those less fortunate kids in the area have the Christmas that they deserve. Last year the “Up in Arms” charity event raised over $3000 for the Cancer Society, this year organizers are hoping to top this amount for Sparky and celebrate Arm’s final year as a twenty something. Yours truly will be there along with Biz X staffers, media people as well as friends and family. So come on out with a toy and have some fun this Friday night at Koko Pellie’s. The party gets underway at 8:00 and is sure to be a fun time while supporting a great cause. See you there!

Local Businesses support Charitable Initiatives

There is an old saying proclaiming that “charity begins at home”. For many area companies this is a mantra they follow all year long with the holidays sparking a concerted effort on giving and helping those less fortunate. From food banks and shelters to toy drives and clothing collections recent economic pressures have unfortunate created a higher than ever demand and have stretched these community resources to the limit. Although the need exists year round, the holiday season is a popular time for many companies to involve their employees in charitable initiatives. 50/50 draws, donation boxes, food drives and family gift sponsorships are just a few of the ways that people are contributing to a variety of worthy causes.
Biz X Magazine has long been a supporter of many charitable efforts and this years big “Fire and Ice” afterglow Party will follow this tradition. Open to the public the party will be held at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts downtown and feature the band Bigg Wiggle. Admission is an unwrapped toy or $10 that will support Sparky’s Toy Drive. The drive will enable less fortunate families to provide a Christmas for their children and spread holiday cheer throughout the city and county. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to do something good for someone else and have a great time doing it!
