Stars and Strides once again had the privilege of participating in the Shining Stars of Christmas special needs “Meet Santa” party in Ft. Mill, SC this year! Hosted by the Polka Family for the last 12 years, this special event allows children and young adults with disabilities and special medical needs to come meet Santa in a medically safe, sensory-sensitive environment that caters to their individual needs!
We brought along a petting zoo and provided safe pony rides with side walkers supervised by our therapeutic riding instructor! We met some special, courageous families and enjoyed every minute. We are so grateful to all the volunteers brought by the Polkas as well as our own Stars and Strides volunteers who made this possible! Can’t wait to do it again next year!
