Cherry Christmas 2020 Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal

For a long time at Cherry we've donated toys with your help to the Kmart Wishing Tree and Salvos at Christmas time. In 2020 it's different because we have more ways you can get involved plus an ambitious idea to stream live and bust cards for 24 hours!

*UPDATE 21.12.20* Cherry's 24 Hour Stream raises almost $55,000 dollars for the Kmart Wishing Tree!

Thank you to the card collecting community in Australia and around the world because you have helped us smash through the initial goal of $10,000 raised!

Blake was live busting cards, talking to collectors and taking donations for just over 24 hours and thanks to you we will be able to make this huge donation to the Kmart Wishing Tree.

Thank you all so much for your support ❤️ 

You can watch the full stream on the Cherry twitch channel!



*UPDATE 17.12.20 *

Kmart Australia liked Blake's 24 hour stream idea so much they invited him down to our local to donate in person! With your help over $9000 has been raised already for the Salvation Army Australia Wishing Tree!

For a long time at Cherry we've donated toys with your help to the Kmart Wishing Tree and Salvos at Christmas time. In 2020 it's different because we have more ways you can get involved plus an ambitious idea to stream live and bust cards for 24 hours!

In 2012 we started using the sale of special Cherry Packs of cards to raise money to spend on toys for those less fortunate. Through the generosity of collectors, thousands and thousands of dollars have been raised every year since then. 

cherry collectables kmart wishing tree 2019Last year we raised over $2000 - Grayson and Blake did the shopping.

This year we're trying something different and its an idea that Blake has had for a while so we're finally letting him try it:

A 24 hour live stream.

Blake is already world famous in the box break scene for being one of the most prolific breakers, sometimes busting cards for over 12 hours but this is a new level.

He's gonna need help and thats where you come in.

For a donation of $10 you can be involved in the first ever 24 hour, live box break stream and give yourself a chance at awesome prizes like sealed boxes of cards, singles, merch and signed photos. At the same time you'll be helping the Salvos deliver toys to kids who would otherwise go without on Christmas day.

Its a win, win, win.

Cherry has donated $5000 from the breaks sold on the day to the cause and the entire proceeds from our raffle will go directly to the Wishing Tree Appeal, with more opportunities to donate on the day! 

CURRENT TOTAL (LAST UPDATE 21/12): $54,430
