Families Join Santa for Breakfast at St. Francis Medical Center

More than 600 children and their families attended the event

More than 600 children and their families recently joined Santa and his helpers for special breakfast at St. Francis Medical Center.

The St. Francis cafeteria was transformed into a winter wonderland as children from the community enjoyed a host of activities, including face painting, magic tricks, and arts and crafts activities. Children also made food for Santa’s reindeer and had their photo taken with Santa.

St. Francis thanks community and business sponsors who supported the event, as well as the many St. Francis colleagues and medical staff who donated toys for Santa to give as gifts.
