On December 6, the fabulous Marie Osmond helped light the world by introducing the Giving Machine in Fort Worth, Texas. The iconic red vending machines were installed in Sundance Square, and the unveiling event included a Christmas mini-concert with a local interfaith choir joining Osmond in heralding the holidays through music.
Following the performance, Osmond lit up the Sundance Square Christmas tree, an 80-foot-tall Norway spruce—the tallest live Christmas tree in Texas—and then went to try out the Giving Machines. Photographer Jay Hinton managed to capture Marie Osmond’s utter delight at her inaugural donation at the Light the World Giving Machines in Fort Worth, Texas.
“I just love the holidays and these Giving Machines to me, they’re just such a fun way to teach our children and ourselves,” Osmond said. “You know that the spirit of giving is what the holidays are all about and 100% of your donation goes to the cause that you're giving to, which is fantastic.”
