Each holiday season, Michles & Booth’s employees, family and friends take a day from work to sing traditional holiday songs to the community. They load up on decorated trolley cars with tractor trailers and, traveling a pre-arranged route through Downtown Pensacola and local Cordova Mall, they sing carols in exchange for donations to local charitable organizations. They are joined by “Scoop” and his team, The Pensacola Pelicans, for the day of fun and laughter. Gifts and monetary contributions are gathered from local businesses and individuals. Although it takes a lot of work to put the caravan together each year, the thought of the looks on the kids’ faces when the truckloads of toys are delivered the following day makes it something the firm would do every month if we could.
On December 21, 2009 we held our annual Michles & Booth Christmas Caroling Caravan. For the past 8 years we have gone door-to-door at various businesses in the area and at Cordova Mall to sing Christmas carols in exchange for monetary and toy donations to benefit Favor House of NW Florida and Family Freedom Foundation. This year we collected $1,118.00 in monetary donations and a van full of toys to support these local charities.
