This Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow group of Santas were on a mission to spread holiday cheer, goodwill and raise funds for a good cause.
Sleepy Hollow-Tarrytown News spoke with Ms. Jeanette Ho, SantaCon organizer and she explained,
"I heard about SantaCon and asked a few friends if they were interested in getting a group together to help do a little local fundraising. Our Tarrytown Sleepy Hollow SantaCon group evolved organically. One by one, friends and neighbors joined. Our mission was to help raise money for the children of Blyethdale Children's Hospital in Valhalla, New York."
There was music and merrymaking at the tavern. Ms. Ho continued, "Brut on 9, Broadway Tarrytown, was kind enough to offer their facilities so we could promote our first SantaCon event. Billy Losier and the Tappan Zee Bridgemen offered the musical entertainment. I want to thank Billy Losier and his band, Brut on 9 Tavern and Brian Doyle and JP Doyle's Pub for helping us raise money for Blythedale Hospital."
