Holiday Good Cheer Showcase -
Saturday, December 13, 2025
For nearly seven decades, our Holiday Good Cheer initiative has brought joy, warmth, and hope to families in Paterson.
On December 13, 2025, our Paterson Clubhouse was transformed into a magical Polar Express–themed celebration as we welcomed more than 800 children and families for our annual Jingle & Joy Holiday Jam.
From the moment families arrived, the day was filled with smiles, laughter, and holiday magic—complete with toys, books, festive meals, clothing, and cherished family photos with Santa. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, every Club kid and teen received a gift from Santa, totaling more than 1,000 gifts, and experienced the joy and dignity that make the holidays truly special.
In addition, 60 Club families received a holiday gift bundle with clothing, essential household items, and meals to support their entire family throughout the season.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, donors, and community partners who helped make this unforgettable day possible. Your generosity ensured that hundreds of Paterson families felt seen, supported, and celebrated this holiday season.
