As a key part of "Operation Santa Claus," ABC15 and Valley radio stations gave people a festive opportunity to get involved by hosting a Claus-A-Thon on December 4.
Throughout the day, a donation phone bank happened from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. to make it easy to donate!
Throughout the Claus-A-Thon, $742,656.59 was donated!

Operation Santa Claus has been helping families in need enjoy the holidays for more than two decades! The annual charity drive kicked off in November, with donors entered into a weekly drawing to be one of 15 finalists who have a chance to win either a new Ford F-150 truck or a new Lincoln Corsair!
Operation Santa Claus is an Arizona tradition. It’s a partnership between ABC15 and Sanderson Ford to collect food, toys, clothes, and monetary donations for Arizona charities. For more information on Operation Santa Claus click here.
