Santa Claus, Sebastian the Ibis, and University of Miami Football & Baseball Players Make Holidays Special for South Miami Kids

Published December 17, 2009

Interval International, a leading provider of vacation services headquartered in South Miami, and the City of South Miami co-sponsored the Holiday Toy Fest yesterday benefitting more than 400 deserving children in the community. Each child had the chance to visit with Santa and select a holiday gift. Other highlights included “Frosty’s Face Painting” and some tasty treats.

Along with Santa and his special elf, members of the University of Miami Hurricanes football and baseball teams and Sebastian the Ibis – UM’s mascot – volunteered their time to make this holiday a very special one for the children. Interval employees supported the annual event by donating both gifts and their time to the Holiday Toy Fest, one of the many community service initiatives that the company hosts throughout the year.
