29th Annual JLF Christmas Party

John and Linda hosted the 29th Annual Christmas Party with the Boys & Girls Clubs and Military Families at Levi’s Stadium in December.  Twenty-five children from the Boys & Girls Clubs, T.A.P.S and the Gary Sinise Foundation were invited to attend the event and were welcomed by John and Linda. 

The group enjoyed a delicious meal and then were surprised by a visit from Santa who invited the group to follow him into a magical Christmas Village with fun stations and activities including:

·      A Stony Clover station where the kids each got a personalized backpack, a pencil case and then got to stuff them with new school supplies.  

·      An Adidas station, and each child received a pair of shoes and sweats.

·      A photo booth, sponsored by J.J. Albanese, where each child received an autographed football and posed for a photo with John and Santa and then they later received a custom framed photo.  

·      And other fun booths including a military letter writing station, Christmas tree decorating, a board game station, and sweet cart where each child received custom cookies and $250 Safeway gift cards.

After visiting the Christmas Village, Santa announced that he left giant gift bags for each child and told the kids to begin opening the surprises!  The items were taken from individual wish lists that were secretly secured for each child.

Thank you to our sponsors and supporters at J.J. Albanese, Stony Clover, Target, and Safeway.
