All Proceeds Donated To Local Charities

The Katy Holiday Fun Festival was established in 2008 for the purpose of providing an exciting community based holiday event in the Katy area, to take place during an exciting time of the year, and to creating a venue to raise donations for local charities. All proceeds will go to assist non-profit organizations and local families who are in need of cash, clothing, food, toys and gifts for the holiday’s and much more.

Christmas is very near so that means a lot of people are very busy with doing their shopping especially now that large retailers, like Target.com, Amazon.com, along with Walmart, increased discounts on legions of items. These increased discounts may have boosted recent sales compared to last year, but not necessarily profits. Each dollar you give away as a discount chips at the profit margin - obviously. Retail success is about profit, not sales - you can sell a lot of widgets, but if you lose money, you still lose money. A naturally occurring phenomenon may be the growing interrelationship between on-line and in-store sales. The buying season might be spreading beyond Black Friday because of online retail.
