We couldn’t let this Christmas Holiday go by without giving a HUGE thank you to our amazing business sponsors who helped make this year possible:

✨ Suwannee Valley Pine Straw
✨ M&J Plant Solutions
✨ The Keg Room
✨ 50 Cal Coffee
✨ Parts City
✨ Lafayette State Bank
✨ Barnes hay farms
✨ Precision Auto
✨ J&W Site Services
✨ Sisters Cafe
✨ Poole Realty
✨ The Old General Store
✨ Branford Love N Care

Because of YOU—and because of our incredible community—497 kids woke up this morning a little happier. ❤️🎁

We also had several people reach out to sponsor a family and shop for them, and I just want to say how much that means. That kind of love and generosity is what this season is all about.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who:
🎟️ bought a raffle ticket
🎁donated a toy
🎁 donated a gift card or raffle item
🩷 supported our events
📲 shared our Facebook posts

…and helped in any way, big or small.

We truly couldn’t have done this without each and every one of you!

Stay tuned for updates and changes in the years to come 🩷🎄✨
