The 13th Annual Valley Santa Christmas Fundraiser will take place at Rodano’s in downtown Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, December 18, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.

Rodano’s will provide a food buffet for all guests attending the fundraiser. Throughout the evening, patrons can purchase holiday ornaments for $5 each, with every dollar raised benefiting Valley Santa. Ornaments are then turned in to claim prizes, with hundreds of prizes traditionally available thanks to generous donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations.
