The Santa Claus Shuffle is a fun, festive, family-friendly activity for individuals of all ages and families throughout the community. If you want a fun way to kick off your holiday season, then join this family-friendly event that promotes BOTH charity and fitness.
For over 29 years, the Santa Claus Shuffle has brought the community together to bring HOPE to young people in need of a second chance. Through the community support from the SANTA CLAUS SHUFFLE, we provide “Quality of Life” needs and experiences like clothing for an interview or team building and fun through ropes courses.
