ABC15 has teamed up with Sanderson Ford and Lincoln to host the 11th Annual Operation Santa Claus Charity Drive! Help us support our community and set a new donation record. Here's how you can participate:
1) Donate any unwrapped toy, children's clothing item, packaged food or monetary donation at the ABC15 studios, any of the Sanderson dealerships, The UPS Store location nearest you, or any Operation Santa Claus event from November 16th through December 20th. You can also make an online donation by clicking on the "Donate Now" button in the top right corner of this page.
2) With each accepted donation you will have the opportunity to be one of 15 finalists to win your choice of a new Ford F-150 Super Crew or Lincoln MKZ! NOTE: If you donate online, you are not automatically entered into the car giveaway. You will need to bring a copy of your donation receipt to a drop-off point, where you will be given an entry form.
Each finalist will win a $100 Visa gift card and a key. The finalist with the key that starts one of the new cars will take it home! Three finalists will be drawn live every Wednesday at 9am on ABC15's Sonoran Living Live.
