Main Street News: Last Chance to Help us Make Some Holiday Magic

Last week we launched 3 holiday initiatives: Santa Claus is Coming to Rich City!, Virtual Downtown Holiday Festival, and our Giving Tuesday Campaign.

The goodie bags are ready to be delivered, Santa is selecting an awesome reading list, and there’s still time for you to give the gift of holiday magic. We have a modest goal of $250 and we are almost half way there. We know that these are very tough times for a lot of us. If you have even $10 to contribute, it would make a world of a difference to the 300 youngsters we are serving this holiday season.

Can you help us reach our goal?

Give the Gift of Holiday Magic

December arrives tomorrow (how did that happen?) and we are getting ready for Downtown Holiday Festival activities unlike you’re ever seen!
