Spreading Holiday Cheer: Uncontrollable Minds Santa Experience Brings Joy to South Dallas Kids

On December 20th, 2024, Uncontrollable Minds joined forces with The City for Good and MaaPaa to host an unforgettable Santa Experience for the children of South Dallas. The event brought holiday cheer and essential resources to around 100 kids, all while fostering a strong sense of community and support. Big thanks to the Elf Movement to donate the Elf and Santa Costumes!

From 2 PM to 4 PM, the event was alive with laughter, excitement, and the spirit of giving. Kids had the opportunity to meet Santa, pick out much-needed clothing, and enjoy festive treats in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The true magic of the event, however, came from the collaborative efforts of our incredible partners and supporters.

Community Contributions That Made a Difference

• Essential Clothing Donations: Attendees were able to pick out much-needed clothing, a blessing for families in need during the colder months. This was made possible through the generosity of Gilden, which donated hundreds of clothing items, and the joint efforts of MobileOp4 and FX Manufacturing, who provided not only a charming Christmas house but also large winter coats to keep families warm.

• Sweet Treats for All: No holiday event is complete without delicious treats, and thanks to CCA Chrystal Collon LLC and Associates, who donated Dunkin’ Donuts "Cole," and 24/7 Pivot, who contributed Christmas cookies, the kids and their families had a delightful snack to enjoy.

• Special Guests: The day was made even more special by Integrity Booking, who brought in Billy Martin Jr. and David Mantle to spread holiday cheer and connect with the community. Their presence added an extra layer of joy and excitement to the festivities.

None of this would have been possible without the generous financial contributions of our supporters. We owe a huge thank-you to:
