On Monday, November 21, The Aubuchon Team of Companies held their annual Helping Hands for the Holidays at their Cape Coral office.

This year, the event was attended by over 300 people, and featured music from Heights Elementary School, a Rockefeller-style Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and, of course, an early visit from Santa Claus.

Also, those who attended enjoyed a hearty meal from a number of local restaurants, who donated all the food and drinks for the event. This year’s participating restaurants included; Bubba’s Roadhouse, Fathoms, Ceno’s, RumRunners, Heavenly Hoagies, Outback, and others.

Monday marked the eighteenth year the company has hosted the event, which raises money to help those in the community less fortunate.

This year’s beneficiaries of the event were the Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, Ronald McDonald House Charities SW Florida, and LEE BIA Builders Care.
