SANTA, SHERIFF BRIGHTEN POMPANO BEACH KIDS HOLIDAY

The Philpart family children from Pompano Beach get presents from Santa at the E. Pat Larkins Community Center Tuesday night, December 23rd. BSO, Wal-Mart, The Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis Clubs all partner to make the holidays a little brighter for about 80 less fortunate families from the city. Almost 200 kids were treated to movies, snacks and photos with Saint Nick.

Helping Santa spread the holiday cheer are (standing, left to right): City Manager Keith Chadwell, Mrs. Philpart, Santa’s Elf Cortlandt Moore, 12, Dist. 92 State Rep. Gwyndolen Clarke-Reed, Kiwanis Club Pres. Gwen Leys and Sheriff Al Lamberti. Also making the event a success were BSO’s Pompano Beach District staff and the C.O.P.S. volunteers.
