THE GINGERBREAD COLLECTIVE
Presented by Arclinea San Diego

On December 10-12, Arclinea San Diego held its inaugural holiday charitable program.  "The 2009 Gingerbread Collective" was a three-day gingerbread competition benefiting Second Chance.

Thirteen designers created gingerbread houses.  Public viewing was available on December 10-11.  Arclinea provided snacks and encouraged visitors to bring canned goods or a cash donation.  On Saturday, a gala cocktail party was held and the houses were auctioned off.

The Gingerbread Collective raised a total of $4,856 plus five grocery carts full of food.  It is not too late to contribute!  Help the total surpass $5,000 by donating today!
