Event Description:

7 Large Gingerbread creations are on display at the Seattle Sheraton's hotel lobby from Nov 23- Jan 2nd. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is the beneficiary and receives cash and check donations in the on-site donation boxes.

November 26th is one of the busiest days for the Gingerbread Village- as soon as the Macy's Day parade is over, the crowds rush over to the Sheraton.

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will be helping with crowd control while answering questions visitors may have (FAQ provided) and informing visitors that the donations will go to JDRF's mission to find a cure for diabetes. Volunteers will also be passing out free candy canes and helping visitors at the voting kiosks.

What you should know:

Please dress holiday casual. There is no parking at the Sheraton but City Center has parking across the street. Allow plenty of time for travel and finding a parking spot.

Where to Meet:

Please meet the One Brick Coordinator at the Christmas Tree in the Sheraton lobby.

JDRF Seattle Guild:

Since its founding in 1989, the JDRF Seattle Guild has hosted the annual Dream Gala, one of the largest and most successful JDRF galas and auctions in the country. Thanks to the generosity of their corporate partners, valued volunteers and dedicated Guild members, the gala program has raised over $56 million to bring us closer to a cure for diabetes and its complications.
