Santa Arrives in Town, Delivers Nearly 400 Toys to Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad

Bearing a present for each child, Santa arrived at the Village Clubhouse in downtown Carlsbad on a fire truck.

The holidays arrived early at Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad, when members were treated to a special afternoon of holiday activities complete with a visit from Santa. 

Throughout the past month, community individuals and businesses were quite busy working as “elves” collecting toys to ensure each member received an age-appropriate gift.  Over 400 presents were collected and doled out to the eager Club members.

“The spirit of giving is truly alive and well in Carlsbad,” said Club CEO Brad Holland. “Each child received a present that was chosen specifically for them, and they were so excited. I wish everyone who helped out could see all the happy faces!”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad has played an integral role in the Carlsbad community since 1952, providing programs and services to thousands of young people.   Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad invites you to tour their Clubhouse, and see how lives are changed on a daily basis.   For more information, call (760) 729-0207, email info@bgccarlsbad.org, or visit bgccarlsbad.org.
