Santa Shuffle Starting. JOIN US.

A Santa Shuffle is a unique event! YOU get to dress up as SANTA and run, walk, dance, and shuffle along side Rt. 47 through the heart of Yorkville, IL. The route is one mile to River City Roasters and one mile back. Join us! 

Here is the video to show you the event last year: http://youtu.be/KSpLF5F9kHg

December 7th, we will gather in the Yorkville Bowl Parking lot (1211 N. Bridge Street. Yorkville) at 9am. Here is where you will receive your very own Santa jacket, hat and beard. One size fits most. 

Our goal is to have each "santa" raise $50 or more for Suicide Prevention Services. This covers the cost of your costume while also raising donations for SPS. You can collect cash or checks (made out to SPS) or you can create a fundraising page: 

HOW TO BEGIN A FUNDRAISING PAGE:

Put your santa jacket on over your clothes, put on your hat with attached beard, and OFF WE GO THROUGH TOWN! We kindly request that you raise $50. in donations to acquire a santa suit. Includes cocoa, and cookies. All proceeds go to prevent suicide.
