4th Annual Santa’s 4-County Sleigh Run

By Alexander Rae

Members of United for a Good Cause embarked upon an inter-county Christmas sleigh run convoy on Christmas Eve. We traveled back and forth through multiple cities of Northwest Florida and the Emerald Coast, delivering toys to less fortunate families who weren’t able to attend the Christmas Miracle Children’s Fiesta.

Families with their children showed up at each designated point. They selected toys and gifts from the great variety made available for this occasion.  It was quite marvelous seeing selfless people come together to spread Christmas cheer to the less fortunate.

Many of the participants were those who volunteered at the Emerald Coast Christmas Miracle Children’s Fiesta, still with an indivisible amount of warm heartedness that begs to spread joy.

Many thanks to Sabór A México of Fort Walton Beach and Helen Back Again of Crestview, La Chalupita of Santa Rosa Beach, and La Rumba of Defuniak Springs who served as designated stopping points for the sleigh run.
