The campaign had more than 8,200 entries and roughly 1,860 participants who spent $220,880.
“(Last year) was an incredibly challenging year for our retailers and downtown shoppers,” mall marketing manager Zaina Yusuf said in a Wednesday news release. “We wanted to do our part by offering support through the Season of Giving initiative.”
The campaign was also a fundraiser for the Mustard Seed, a Christian non-profit organization, with the mall committed to donating $2.50 for every $25 spent and for every customer entry submitted. In addition to the $12,000, the mall also provided 600 items of warm clothing.
Mustard Seed development specialist Alexandra Scivoletto said in the news release that the campaign was incredibly successful.
