The YMCA Bradford Branch hosted its third annual Santa Drop on Saturday, drawing hundreds of community members to the free event. The highlight came when Santa and the Grinch made a dramatic entrance, skydiving from a plane and landing in front of the cheering crowd.
The excitement continued with massive giveaways including $5,000 in cash, AirPods, various gift cards, two TVs, and two free roofs all awarded to guests who had to be present to win.
Fountain City Food and Catering’s food truck and the Little Pick Me Up coffee truck were on site, giving visitors plenty of options for a meal or a warm drink. Children enjoyed inflatables provided by All About That Bounce and joined a lively one-mile fun run, chasing after an elf along the route. A toy drive benefiting the Autauga Christmas Team added a charitable element to the event. Chrietzberg Photography offered free photos with Santa, while kids also took part in craft activities, face painting and writing letters to Santa.
“I have a big heart and am very passionate about giving back to our community and blessing others,” said Terra Jorgensen with At Home Real Estate Team.
She continued, “There is nothing more meaningful to me than seeing the joy on people’s faces and knowing that even a small act of kindness can make a lasting difference. Our community has supported us in so many ways, and giving back is my way of honoring that love and connection. Thank you to the many sponsors that help sponsored this event and made it successful.”
Presenters for the event were At Home Real Estate Team, KW Montgomery, Renasant Bank, Christian Brothers Automotive, HC Bond Construction, and Pro Bowl.
