💛 What an incredible night, and what an incredible community! 🎅
Our 10th Annual A Summer’s Night with Santa was filled with laughter, fun, connection, and some pretty amazing memories!
This year, we had the privilege of connecting with 22 pediatric cancer families, including 8 families who were brand new to Zach’s Toy Chest®. We love seeing families who have been part of ZTC for years return, while also welcoming new families into this very special community.
And none of it happens without an incredible group of people behind it.🙌 59 volunteers gave their time between setup the night before and the event itself. They transformed the space, set up activities, served food, helped families, ran stations, cleaned up, and did a million little things that made the evening run smoothly.
We also want to give a HUGE thank you to the community partners, sponsors, and friends who helped make the night possible:
💛 United Church
💛 Shake Shack Holly Springs
💛 Fhairy Sparkles Fairy Hair
💛 Caroline Batten Photography
💛 S & S Entertainment
💛 Willis Cakes
💛 WoodmenLife - Holly Springs, NC Chapter 1473
💛 Apex Rotary Club
💛 RestorePro Reconstruction and Restoration
💛 North Carolina Friends of Santa
💛 Charles River Labs
💛 Meltus Cakes and Confectionery
💛 Ruckus Pizza, Pasta & Spirits
💛 Linda Moore
💛 Karen Barlow
💛 A-wise Design with Angela Bonham
💛 Sunflower Financials LLC
Every meal served, activity enjoyed, photo taken, sweet treat eaten, and moment of Christmas magic was possible because people in our community chose to show up for these families. ❤️
And most importantly, thank you to our families for spending the evening with us. It is an honor to know you, celebrate your children, and create these memories alongside you.
A Summer’s Night with Santa has never been about focusing on cancer. It's about giving kids and their families an evening to have fun, be together, laugh, play, and make memories while cancer takes a back seat.
To everyone who donated, sponsored, volunteered, partnered with us, or helped behind the scenes: you made this night possible. Thank you. 🎅🎄💛
