Santa LOVED spending the day in Sayreville with his favorite First Aid Squad! He met so many residents- Children, Adults, & plenty of Dogs! He really wished he didn’t have to leave so soon, but with Christmas being just days away he’s already back at the North Pole!
Special THANKS to our friends
😀Total Hardware and Garden Supply Inc. & Benjamin Moore Retail for letting us borrow their generator to help light Santa’s sleigh.
😀The Sara Dubinin Foundation for donating hand warmers for our volunteers & candy canes for the community.
😀Dunkin' (Alliance Management QSR) operating many locations in our area for the coffee & delicious breakfast to help get our day started.
😀Wilson Elementary School PTO for providing us with refreshments & snacks at their hot spot.
😀Amano Pizza for ending our perfect day by warming up our bellies with delicious dinner!
🚨We answered a total of 9 First Aid calls throughout the day (6:00am-10:00pm) which at multiple times resulted in having 2 Ambulances leave Santa Sleigh Ride route.
🌧️ “Oh, the weather outside is frightful” due to the rain we were operated quicker (1 hour ahead of schedule) to help keep Santa dry so he doesn’t get sick days before Christmas.
Months of preparation, weeks of decorating, days of cleaning, hours of no sleep & all day freezing… was all worth it after seeing all the warm smiles and happiness (true meaning of Christmas) in everyone while spreading holiday cheer! Please remember we are 100% VOLUNTEER- some of our us joined a few weeks ago, while others years ago. We’re a small family, not perfect but we pour our hearts & souls into everything we do for our community.
Now that our yearly tradition has come to an end From all of us here at the Sayreville Emergency Squad we wish you a Merry Christmas! ❤️🚑🎅🏼💚🎄❄️
