Launch of the 2nd annual edition of Cominar's Forest of Stars benefiting Opération Enfant Soleil

QUÉBEC CITY, Nov. 28, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - After proudly donating $160,000 to the Opération Enfant Soleil telethon in 2018, Cominar is back with the second edition of its Forest of Stars, this time with an even more ambitious objective. The official launch will take place December 1 in all of Cominar's 18 shopping centres in Quebec, in conjunction with over 150 partner companies. This year's fundraising target is $180,000.

Cominar's Forest of Stars was created in 2017 and held in all of the company's shopping centres across the province in order to take advantage of the customer traffic generated by the holiday season to support Opération Enfant Soleil. 

Maxime Landry has agreed to serve as the campaign ambassador and spokesperson once again. He is joined this year by his good friend Annie Brocoli. They will visit Cominar shopping centres in December to spread some holiday joy.

A storybook entitled The Tale of Stars, specially created for the campaign, along with a dessert known as the ChocoFox, made using 3D technology, will be to added to the on-site ornament workshops. Proceeds from the merchandise sales and workshops will go to Opération Enfant Soleil.
