Sands Christmas

2008 Christmas with The Sands

The Sands Resorts ( http://www.sandsresorts.com/ ) and South Carolina Jaycees partnered in a charity event to assist eight (8) families in need during the upcoming Holiday Season. These families came from different locations in South Carolina and North Carolina. They were guests December 11-December 14, 2008 at The Sands Resorts.

Each family attended shows at the Carolina Opry, Legends in Concert, Ripley’s Aquarium and a Gala at the Sands, where each family was treated by their own personal Christmas tree complete with gifts. All arranged and provided by The Sands.

The Aiken Jaycees sponsored Mr. Tim Hall and his children, TJ and Jessica. The Jaycees provided transportation to and from Myrtle Beach to The Sands, shows, food and gifts as well.

We wish to say Thank You to the Sands for giving our sponsored family a Wonderful trip and Christmas.
