Children’s Luncheon Brings “Christmas” to Over 100 Children
GLVADA Brings the Magic of Christmas to Area Children and their Families, Including the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley, Camelot for Children, and Participating Foster Care Organizations
Lehigh Valley, PA, December 17, 2024 – The Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Dealers Association (GLVADA) recently hosted a heartwarming Children’s Christmas Luncheon on December 15, 2024, at the Delta Marriott in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. The event capped off a successful holiday toy drive, with toy boxes at 22 new car and truck dealers.
Families enjoyed a festive afternoon complete with a holiday kids’ buffet, live music, toy giveaways, and memorable visits from beloved holiday characters, including Santa, Mrs. Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Made possible by GLVADA, iHeartMedia, and PSECU, this special event created “Christmas” and featured “Photos with Santa” for children and families facing challenges. This includes area residents supported by the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley, Camelot for Children and various area foster care organizations from Lehigh Calley, Monroe County and Pottsville.
Among the attendees was a brave young boy, Jackson, age 5 of Brodheadsville, Pa, currently undergoing active chemotherapy, who joined the celebration with his family.
“New car and truck dealer and their employees, and our generous supporters, are honored to bring smiles to so many families during his special time of year,’ expressed Dan Moyer, Executive Director of GLVADA. “GLVADA member dealerships were proud to see so many members of our community contribute new, unwrapped toys during our toy drive showing the spirit of hope and joy that defines the season.”
As GLVADA looks ahead, preparations are already underway for the 2025 Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Show, set to take place in March. The association remains dedicated to supporting local nonprofit organizations, helping automotive technology students, and contributing to the well-being of the communities its members serve.
