Holiday Giving

The holiday season at Manor College in Jenkintown is celebrated a bit differently this year, but the holiday spirit is quite strong. The College has been continuing traditions with virtual festivities this year.

The college supports a charity each year, and this year they chose The Breathing Room Foundation for Giving Tuesday. This organization provides care and support to families affected by cancer by taking care of their most important needs. Manor community members were able view the Foundation’s Amazon Wish List and send items directly to the organization. $2,000 in items were donated!

Thomas Sims, Donor Relations Officer, stated, “Every Giving Tuesday, we look forward to supporting families in need. This year, we partnered with an organization that helps people the most in need. It was so good to see the Manor College community make this wish list fulfillment possible.”

Student American Dental Hygienists’ Club hosted a toy drive for local children. Dental Hygiene student and club member, Stacy Mulholland, stated, “I just kept thinking of all these children who may wake up for the first time this year without gifts from Santa.” The drive has collected over 150 gifts to give.

They also did a 12 Days of Manor Giveaways on their FaceBook page for members of the community can answer questions and win prizes each day.

One of the questions that was asked was “What is your favorite thing about Manor College?” Kareena B, stated. “As an international student, Manor welcomed me with open arms. Everyone was warm and friendly. You never felt like you didn’t belong because we were all one big family.”

Manor’s Week of Cheer

Since most of Manor’s faculty and staff are working remotely this year, the college decided upon a virtual “Week of Cheer” for employees to have holiday cheer at home, together!

The Week of Cheer includes fun virtual activities like holiday trivia, cookie recipe exchange, Christmas Stories with Santa, and a gingerbread house-making evening.
