The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, “The Patrol,” will again host “Operation Santa,” a benefit in support of this all-volunteer agency celebrating 97 years of service to the Town of Greenwich.
The fundraiser will take place on Saturdays and Sundays in December.
The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol volunteers will deliver holiday cheer complete with Santa and The Grinch on December 14, 15, 21, and 22.
Santa and The Grinch will be escorted through Greenwich in The Patrol’s fire truck to deliver your pre-wrapped holiday presents to your children. The joy on your children’s faces will warm your heart and make a lasting memory for years to come. Be sure your little ones get photos with Santa and the Grinch.
To participate, please visit the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol website and fill out the form under events, “Operation Santa 2024.”
In lieu of the Cos Cob Fire Police benefit this year, the donations made for this special delivery will help offset funds that would have been raised at that benefit.
