A participant of Rainbow Alley's 2024 Holigay sharing a special moment with Queer Santa

Holigay magic is in the air✨

Rainbow Alley’s annual family party was filled with holiday joy, smiling youth, fellow parents chatting, arts and crafts, and of course, Queer Santa.

It was truly heartwarming to see the youth’s faces light up when Queer Santa beckoned each of them forward to join her in front of the fireplace. A few attendees were overheard giggling after meeting her and remarking of how kind and warm she was.

Queer Santa has been a beloved staple of The Center’s holiday celebrations for 26 years now. This year, she determined the time has come to pass the hat to the next Queer Santa. This special tradition will carry on for years to come, continuing to bring holigay cheer to LGBTQ+ youth and families every winter.

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's extra special event!
