subject: San Francisco Spca Announces Unveiling Of Annual Macys Union Square Holiday Windows [print this page]


On Friday, November 18th, at 5:00 pm, Macys and the SF SPCA unveiled the much-anticipated Macys Holiday Windows, featuring kittens and puppies up for adoption. This year's windows theme is "Make a Wish," a 'wish factory' where wishes and dreams are magically transformed into ornaments that decorate a tree of wishes. Elementary students from the De Marillac Academy will be present to join the treasured tradition and help to unveil the windows.

The SF SPCA is proud to partner with Macys again in 2011 on the 25th annual holiday windows. Voted one of the Top Ten Places to Press Your Nose Against the Glass during the holiday season by USA Today, this tradition is one of the most beloved symbols of the holiday spirit in San Francisco.

Last year, about 300 animals featured in Macys holiday windows found new homes from the adoption center on the main floor, and more than $70,000 in donations was raised for the SF SPCA. All San Francisco residents and visitors are encouraged to come visit the adorable, adoptable animals in the Macys Holiday Windows from Friday, November 18 Sunday, January 1.

This holiday tradition is a wonderful expression of the holiday spirit in San Francisco. Volunteer with the San Francisco SPCA at Holiday Windows and be part of the magic this holiday season! invites Jennifer Lu, Communications Manager for the SF SPCA.

Each holiday window is equipped with video camera that streams images to sfpsca.org/holiday, so animal lovers can watch the kittens and puppies from their computers throughout the holiday season. The streaming video from Holiday Windows is generously sponsored by KSFO Radio.
