Santa and Mrs. Claus are coming to Pepper Place! Bring your whole family, including your furry friends, to meet Santa and snap a photo. Photos are free to the public, and donations support our Family Emergency Assistance Fund. Join us in sharing the joy of the season and helping create more smiles, more lifelong memories, and more hope.

Family Emergency Assistance Fund

The Emergency Assistance Fund is a lifeline for families of seriously ill children. So far this year, we've distributed over $100,000 to help cover essentials like food and housing, easing immediate financial burdens and creating the space families need to care for their child, support one another, and continue moving forward together.

Capture the Spirit of Giving

The Children's Harbor Junior Board is excited to host this event, and we can't wait to celebrate the magic of Christmas with you! Your presence and financial support will help families facing serious illness find the strength to face the unimaginable together. Let's capture the spirit of giving and help families move forward together, one snapshot at a time.
