Bringing a little ray of happiness to everyone this Christmas

BY VERONICA RODRIGUEZ
We ’ re getting ready to kick off this year ’ s A Little Ray of Giving campaign , which is Ray White ’ s annual charity drive that helps businesses foster meaningful relationships with local communities throughout November to December .
Over the past 12 years , Ray White offices participating in A Little Ray of Giving have reached out to clients — past , present and future — and to other members of their local communities to collect gifts for a variety of not-for-profit organisations , because everyone deserves to smile this Christmas .
It ’ s an opportunity to get festive , creative and proactive in the lead up to Christmas by bringing both seasonal joy and comfort to thousands of underprivileged individuals and families across Australia and New Zealand .
This year , we ’ re introducing ' Little Ray ', the elf as our champion of the A Little Ray of Giving initiative . Visiting each one of our businesses this Christmas , Little Ray is here to create buzz amongst the community and support teams with collecting donations for their chosen charity , by creating attention .
Registrations are now open ! Make sure to sign up for your custom social assets and check out the full roll out plan on Whiteboard by searching ‘ A Little Ray of Giving ’.
“ Our office has been actively participating in A Little Ray of Giving since 2015 , collaborating with the Oak Flats Lions Club to bring joy to deserving children at Southern Youth and Family Services . In 2022 , we witnessed our most remarkable year to date , as our dedicated team , alongside their families and our incredibly generous community , contributed over 250 toys to this noble cause . Employing various communication channels , including our social media platforms , a well-placed newspaper advertisement , and even word of mouth , we successfully reached a large amount of the community , amplifying our message and garnering widespread support .
" The holiday season is a time of giving , and here at Ray White Shellharbour City and South Wollongong , we wholeheartedly embrace the opportunity to support the underprivileged children within our community . Year after year , we have been fortunate enough to collaborate with a local charity , aiming to bring a touch of magic and joy to the lives of these kids ."
