Looking ahead, we’re excited to share that our Annual Gala is scheduled for October 2, 2026 — our largest fundraising event of the year. Planning is already underway, and we are currently seeking support for raffle and live auction donations. If you, your business, or someone you know may be able to contribute an item, experience, or service, we would truly appreciate hearing from you. Some examples include: ~$150 items
Themed gift baskets (coffee, self-care, local favorites) Family activity packages (mini golf, bowling, arcade) Local restaurant or business gift certificates $400–$500 items
$2,000+ experiences
Weekend getaway or Airbnb (on or off season) Private chef or curated dining experience NYC/Boston show, dinner, hotel package Many of our most successful auction items come from community connections and simple acts of generosity—often sparked by someone asking, “How can I help?” If you would like to donate, sponsor, or talk through ideas, please reply to this email. Every contribution, large or small, directly supports Santa Foundation programs and the families we serve. Thank you for your continued support and for being such an important part of our community. We look forward to connecting with you and hope to see you at our upcoming events. With gratitude,
Santa Foundation
