We are dedicated to giving back, raising funds to purchase toys for the holidays for our local Northeast Florida National Guard and Gold Star children

We started more than 10 years ago, hosting fund raising softball tournaments each year starting in 2003, for three years straight. We used those funds to purchase toys and other items, on wish lists, for local Northeast Florida non profits. By our third year we had raised a total of over $6,000. Through the years after that, it had been brought to our attention, that our local Florida National Guard families, were struggling to make ends meet, due to the decline in the economy and furloughs, was making the holidays especially tuff. So we shifted our efforts to provide for those children. In 2013, during our first efforts to put together a fundraiser for this, we were able to purchase toys for 250 children. Though we were grateful, we are hopeful that in the continuing years, we may contribute to even more families and continue to broaden our goals and possibly expand our efforts to other National Guard families outside of our local area.

Gratitude fills our 💕!

As we reflect on an unforgettable 2026 Operation Santa Cause Inc. Toys & Tiaras Gala, we are overwhelmed by the incredible generosity, dedication, and love shown by our sponsors, volunteers, and community. This event would not have been possible without each of you.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Vystar Credit Union and Vystar Veterans Memorial and to our Platinum Sponsors, Argyle Dental Professionals and NEFAR. Your generous support is helping us continue our mission of bringing Christmas joy to Northeast Florida National Guard and Gold Star children. Your commitment to giving back is making a lasting difference in the lives of so many families.
We are also deeply grateful to our Gold Sponsor, Trinity Logistics and Annette Benton, for believing in our mission and standing beside us in support of the children we serve. Your generosity and kindness mean more than words can express.
A huge thank you to D&R's Captured moments for volunteering to photograph the event and to DJ Fresh/The Fresh Spot Lounge for helping with event setup and keeping the dance floor alive all evening! Your energy, professionalism, and music created memories that our guests will never forget.
We were truly honored to welcome our distinguished guest speaker, Colonel (Ret.) and City Councilman Matt Johnson, whose inspiring message reminded us all of the importance of service, sacrifice, and community.
A special thank you to Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Ruffner for sharing his inspiring words and heartfelt remarks with our guests. Your message was both meaningful and encouraging, and it was an added joy to put you in the spotlight as we celebrated your birthday together! 🎉
To our amazing Master of Ceremonies and event committee member, Jeremy Ruffner, thank you for leading the evening with professionalism, heart, and enthusiasm. You helped make the night truly special.
To our incredible volunteers, Jennifer Ingram, Delilah Ingram, and Bernie Scholl, thank you for your countless hours of service. From setup to breakdown—and every detail in between—you gave your time, your energy, and your hearts. Your willingness to jump in wherever needed and your unwavering dedication helped make this gala such a wonderful success. We are truly grateful for each of you.
They say it takes a village, and this gala was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with compassion and a shared purpose.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who sponsored, volunteered, donated, attended, and believed in our mission. Because of you, we are one step closer to making Christmas brighter for the Northeast Florida National Guard and Gold Star children we are honored to serve.
❤️ Together, we aren't just hosting an event—we're creating hope, building memories, and changing lives.
