"We hope that through the C2 Christmas Tree Making Contest, we're able to showcase the artistic talents of these young students and at the same time remind them that a healthy mind and body is the best gift you can give yourself this Holiday Season."

Fountain Area where the colorful and creative C2 Christmas Tree entries were on display. It was such a delightful experience to see these youngsters sense of originality and ingenuity what with bright, artistic and awesome recycled C2 Christmas Trees they've made!

"We became really emotional upon hearing our group's name. We're so happy that we won! Our C2 Christmas Tree was truly a product of sweat, blood and tears. Our group went through a lot before we were able to finish our C2 Christmas Tree entry. And since all the entries we're really good, we didn't think we had a chance of winning, but we're so amazed that we did!," said a member of the Grand Prize winning entry from the NCBA-Fairview HRM Society.
