The 33rd Annual Santa's First Responders holiday party was held at Murphy Elementary School on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Santa's First Responders is a non-profit organization started by Gayelord Mankowski more than three decades ago to help kids in need during the holiday season. This year's party was attended by over 250 kids, 200 adults, and many super heroes! It featured over $18,000 worth of toys and food by Olive Garden and Cottage Inn Pizza. The staff at Murphy Elementary School did a phenomenal job of decorating the school and hosting the event. Thank you to everyone involved in this worthwhile program!
