Santa Cause Came to Town
By Brent Davis
Our AUHS Foundation hosted the 14th annual Santa Cause toy and joy distribution. Hundreds of families arrived early to wait patiently for their opportunity to get a toy, a book, and a hot dog lunch. Lots of elves, who looked a lot like AUHS students, faculty, and staff, were out in force to help with delivering gifts to over 600 children. Everyone enjoyed the Ballpark franks and snacks which were donated; Mr. Doughboy donated 800 hotdog buns! Besides the hotdogs, many toys were also donated by XR, LLC and Kayne Anderson Rudnick Wealth Advisors. Employees of XR, LLC also grilled the hundreds of hotdogs.
One lucky boy and girl received a golden ticket from AUHS founder Kim Dang Johnson for being excellent students. The prizes were a Barbie Dream House and a Nintendo Switch.
A special thanks to Lieu Dang Suss, Denise Waller, and Diem Vo for tirelessly organizing the event and a very special thanks to Mrs. Claus, Jeannetta Mastron! Mrs. Mastron was a big hit with the kids coming to see Santa.
