About this Event
Swings with Santa 2026 🎅❤️
Carrying the Weight of Homelessness, Together.
Join us on Saturday, December 12th, for a morning of fitness, community, and giving back!
Every day, individuals experiencing homelessness carry burdens that many of us cannot imagine. This holiday season, we're coming together to help lighten that load.
Through Swings with Santa, we're supporting Hearts for Hope, an organization dedicated to bringing essential supplies, care packages, and encouragement to individuals experiencing homelessness.
Whether you pick up a kettlebell, help pack care bags, write a heartfelt note of encouragement, or simply come to support the cause, YOU can make a difference!
No fitness experience is necessary, and there's no required number of swings. Participate in whatever way feels right for you.
