Enhancing Westland's civic, educational, and cultural communities.
Christmas in July - oh what fun!
It was an evening to remember on July 25th in Westland. Christmas in July has become a staple of Westland community, every year organized by Westland Community Foundation.
Our celebration included a Christmas Tree with so many toys under it, brought by our guests to donate to Westland Salvation Army.
The evening had delicious food and premium drinks from open bar. The guests also brought non perishable food items to donate to Salvation Army.
The air was filled with laughter and christmas carols.
This is the tradition which our Foundation wishes to continue with the help of generous donors, whose hearts are so big.
We would like to give a huge shouout to main sponsors who helped us to make this evening possible.
Santa Sponsor - Wayne County Community College District
