For the second year in a row Marriott Australia is bringing their program the Christmas Wishing Tree back to Federation Square for 2 days on the 14th and 15th of November from 9am onwards both days. The Marriott Bubble (7m X 4m) in the form of an inflatable dome will be positioned at Fed Sq in the CBD with a 3.5 Christmas tree placed in it.


Baubles with a picture of a child from CPEC complete with a gift wish on the back will hang on the Christmas tree. This year instead of just one (Melbourne Marriott), all six Marriott properties in Australia are on board. Each of the hotels will have a Christmas tree in their lobby complete with baubles. Guests and associates will be given the opportunity to donate to the child's gift wish as well as to the purchase of equipment used in educating these special children.


At Fed Square Santa will be sitting outside the bubble complete with Christmas setting for a photo opportunity and a 'Gold Coin' game the public can take part in to assist in raising funds. All funds raised with go to CPEC . It's a win win situation because those who play the game will be in it to win exciting prizes which includes Christmas in New York complete with flights and accommodation for 2015. All donations of $50 or more on the day will go into the draw to win this trip. Come on down and make a child's Christmas wish come true.
