KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Dec 2017:
KL Gateway Mall might be a neighbourhood community mall in the heart of Bangsar South, but it is big in heart and spirit.
Demonstrating its generosity, the mall is collecting huggable teddy bears this festive season – to be distributed to children in the paediatric ward at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM) on Dec 22.
Generous shoppers are encouraged to either donate, or buy a bear to be donated, to spread the festive cheer and bring smiles to the children. You may drop your donations off at the concierge until Dec 20.
To celebrate the mall’s inaugural Christmas – having opened in March this year – the central piazza has been transformed into a fun teddy wonderland with a 12-foot giant KL Gateway Mall teddy bear, and other teddy bear-themed decorations.
Decked in vivid red, green and gold, the vibrant Christmas centrepiece features a Teddy Bear Entrance Arch, Santa’s Grotto with teddy bear pit and rotating toy blocks Christmas tree.
Marketing manager Elaine Leong said: “As a community mall, we play an important role to ensure the community around us benefits from our activities. We hope that the donation and delivery of teddy bears will help bring Christmas and the warmth of the festive season to the children.”
Visitors to the 8+ month-old mall can expect to be charmed and cheered with entertainment worthy of that found in larger, more established ones.
Throughout the month of December, catch the Chamber carollers every Saturday at 12.30pm, the exuberant Camerata Musical Ensemble (on Sundays at 12.30pm), Santa and Santarina walkabout and participate in the Christmas kids workshop (both on Sundays at 1.30pm).
Oh, and don’t forget the snowfall on Sundays at 4pm.
While you’re shopping, don’t forget to participate in the Mini Cooper 5-door Grand Lucky Draw where you could drive away with a RM190,000 Mini Cooper.
Just spend RM500 in 3 accumulated receipts on the same day and you’ll be in the running for the grand draw on 10 March 2018.
Any which way, you’re bound to have a colourful, meaningful and purposeful Christmas at KL Gateway Mall.
