As we reflect on this Christmas season, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. None of what we do would be possible without the incredible support of so many amazing people.

First and foremost, thank you to our Board of Directors for your leadership, dedication, and countless hours behind the scenes. Your commitment keeps the magic alive.

To every individual and business donor, thank you for your generosity and belief in our mission. Your financial gifts and donations truly changed lives this Christmas.

A very special thank you to the kids and parents of The Summertime Wonderland Pageant & Royal Ball, along with all event attendees, for volunteering your time, energy, and support. Your involvement helped turn kindness into action and joy into reality.

We are also incredibly grateful to the Alcester-Hudson FCCLA for your service, hard work, and continued support of our cause.

Because of all of you, 111 children in need experienced the magic of Christmas this year across the communities of Alcester, Hudson, Akron, Westfield, Hawarden, Ireton, Canton, Volin, and Beresford. That is something truly special.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us spread hope, joy, and Christmas magic where it’s needed most.

Merry Christmas and God bless,
Santa & Mrs. C 🎄🎁🎅🏻🤶🏻🎁🎄

The elves have almost finished their work for the year! Just a few more toys to go. Santa couldn’t do any of the work without his elves. He’s SO very thankful for each and everyone of them! Thanks to their tireless efforts all year long, Santa will be bringing Christmas magic to more than double the amount of children in need this year in the communities of Alcester, Hudson, Hawarden, Ireton, Beresford, Canton, and Volin. Santa, Mrs. C, and all our elves want to thank all the businesses and individuals that donated funds for the supplies needed to make this year a success!

✨❤️ A Season of Giving! ❤️✨

Tonight, the spirit of Christmas shined bright! The Royal Ball Board generously presented their check to Santa & Mrs. C’s Kids — an incredible $5,300 donation from this year’s ball! 🎄💖

With support from the pageant as well, that brings our total impact for 2025 to $5,665 donated and 150 toys collected for local children who need a little extra Christmas magic. 🎁✨

We are deeply grateful for every sponsor, volunteer, donor, queen, and community member who helped make this possible. Your love and generosity bring joy where it’s needed most.
