CCAC Holiday Festival

This year’s CCAC Holiday Festival was a roaring success!  The week-long event was hosted at the Center each evening from Monday, December 14 through Friday, December 18.  Hundreds of children and their families enjoyed the holiday festivities including arts and crafts, hot dogs, chips and cookies, and a special visit with Santa!

The highlight of the evening for both parents and children was their “shopping” experience.  Parents were able to visit the CCAC North Pole and pick out holiday gifts especially for their children.  At the same time, children visited the Paulette Abraham Parent’s Store and picked out gifts for their parents or caregiver.  Paulette Abraham was the founder and driving force behind the CCAC Kids Holiday party.

Special thanks to HoMedics for once again sponsoring the party, to everyone who donated gifts, and to the many volunteers who made this event possible, including State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and his staff.
