Marblehead Santa Paddle on December 6, 2026

Fill the sleigh!

How to Donate

Your gift goes straight to neighbors who need it. No elves skimming off the top.

100%

of all donations go to the Marblehead Food Pantry

(well, except for those pesky online transaction fees — even Santa can't dodge those)

A self-sustaining sleigh ride

The Landing Restaurant donates their space. Several super generous Santas donate their time and services, personally chip in to cover costs, and lend cars, boards and Santa suits. That's how the whole thing runs on goodwill and hot cocoa — and why your donation goes where it should.

On the extra-nice list

The Santas are so grateful for the especially good boys and girls who make this happen.

the super nice folks who watch over our brief paddle while running the Tech Dinghy races.

Give online

The Santas really, truly appreciate every good boy and girl who donates. Every gift puts groceries and household basics on the shelves for Marblehead neighbors — that's real holiday magic, right here in town.
