Wagga’s Sturt Mall is looking to ‘Sweeten the Season’ in the lead-up to the holidays with an initiative that aims to spread some Christmas cheer and give back to the community.
Between now and Saturday (14 December), shoppers can get in on the promotion by spending $30 or more at any participating store in the mall and taking their receipts to the candy cane stand between 10 am and 2 pm to pick up a special Christmas scratchie.
Each card offers shoppers a chance to win prizes and donate to one of three fantastic local community groups including St Vincent De Paul, Fishing For Kyan and The Rotaract Club.
“We are thrilled to bring the ‘Sweeten the Season’ promotion to Sturt Mall,” said Sturt Mall Shopping Centre’s marketing manager Kate Leverett.
“This initiative not only rewards our customers but also supports our local community, embodying the true spirit of the holiday season.”
If a Sturt Mall customer reveals ‘community donation’ on their scratchie, they can support one of the three great local organisations by placing the $2, $3 or $5 donation in the community group candy cane of their choice.
There’s also the chance to scratch up a prize for themselves including coffee vouchers, retailer prizes and centre gift cards.
At the end of the promotion, the total donations will be added up and given to the community groups to support their work in Wagga.
