Dear Friends of the Santa Foundation,
The holiday season is almost here—and we can’t think of a better way to kick it off than by celebrating with the community that makes our mission possible!
Please join us for the Santa Foundation Annual Gala!
📅 Friday, October 2, 2026
🕕 6:00–10:00 PM
📍 Franklin Elks Lodge
🎟️ Tickets: $60 per person
It’s always a wonderful evening filled with great food, live music and raffles. New this year, we’re adding a sports-themed silent auction, as well as a live auction featuring some incredible prizes. It will be a magical evening—all while raising critical funds to help local families during the holidays.
Last year, the Santa Foundation provided holiday assistance to 860 families and more than 3,500 individuals across 34 communities. The need continues to grow, but together we can make a meaningful difference for families who need a little extra support during the holiday season.
✨ And Another Fun Way to Support Us This Year… Our Golden Ticket Raffle!
You do not need to attend the Gala to participate!
Only 100 Golden Tickets will be sold for $50 each, giving you incredible odds at winning one of three premium prizes:
🏔️ A 3-Night Stowe, Vermont Getaway — donated by the Kucich Family
🔥 A Premium Backyard Smokeless Fire Pit Experience — donated by Colonial Enterprises.
💇♀️ A Year of Beauty — donated by B’Luxe Hair & Makeup Studio
Three winners. Only 100 tickets.
Whether you join us at the Gala, purchase a Golden Ticket, or simply help us spread the word, you are helping the Santa Foundation continue a tradition that has always been at the heart of our organization:
Community helping community.
