Spreading Holiday Cheer
GIANT and the Bill Crabtree Foundation Unite to Make a Difference
Morrisville, December 2024
This holiday season, Giant Development and the Bill Crabtree Foundation joined forces to support Zach’s Toy Chest, an organization dedicated to bringing joy to children battling cancer and other serious illnesses. Together, we set out to lift spirits and brighten the holidays for these young warriors.
On Monday, December 9, a call for donations of new toys for children aged 2 to 18 was shared with all Giant Development employees. Over the next 10 days, our teams enthusiastically rallied together, collecting an incredible assortment of toys and delivering them to our Morrisville administrative office.
The culmination of this heartfelt effort took place on Thursday, December 19, when Michele Horne, Vice-Chair of the Bill Crabtree Foundation, personally transported the donations to Zach’s Toy Chest’s collection point in Holly Springs.
This initiative is a testament to the power of community and our shared commitment to making a difference. It embodies the guiding principle of the Bill Crabtree Foundation: “There’s always an opportunity to help.”
While the Bill Crabtree Foundation’s website is currently under construction, we remain dedicated to supporting our region and fostering hope through meaningful initiatives. For updates and information about future projects, stay connected with us through Giant Development’s channels.
Together, we can continue to build stronger, more compassionate communities.
