Feed A Family, Make A Kid Happy And Win A New Car
ABC15 in partnership with Sanderson Ford, Lincoln and Volvo would like to welcome everyone back to The Tenth Annual Operation Santa Claus Charity Drive. The first nine years have resulted in a record number of donations for valley children’s charities and this year we hope to do even better. To help with our cause, please bring a new unwrapped toy, children’s clothing item, packaged food or a monetary donation to ABC15, any of the Sanderson dealerships, The UPS Store location nearest you or any Operation Santa Claus event from November 17th through December 20th.
With each accepted donation, you will have the opportunity to be one of ten finalists to win your choice of a new Ford F-150 Super Crew or Volvo S60. Each finalist will win a $100 Visa Gift Card and a key. The finalist with the key that starts the truck will win the new Ford F-150 or Volvo S60. Two finalists will be drawn live every Tuesday on ABC15’s Sonoran Living.
