SANTA STROLL

2019

We had over 125 walkers and raised over $13,000!
More children & families than last year, enjoyed making crafts and visiting with Santa, and Elsa and Anna from Frozen.
The walk was completed in 5 minutes 31 seconds!
Everyone enjoyed live music and the electric atmosphere
Basket raffles and the Cash Raffle kept things interesting and fun
Ornament sales raised more funds than ever and helped decorate FLB’s for the holidays

Whether you donated dollars, raffle items, supplies, your time - or - bought raffle tickets or sponsorships, we could not have done this without you!

In addition to a fun event, we raised funds, and awareness, to continue fighting substance abuse disorder and the opioid epidemic in our communities.

A Big Thank You to :

The Original Snowman
