Sensory Friendly Pancakes with Santa & Holiday Market – A Fundraiser for a Meaningful Cause
On November 29th 2025, we celebrated the magic of the season at our first annual Sensory Friendly Pancakes with Santa, where holiday joy met community spirit. All proceeds supported the Embers for Access Foundation, helping families with children with autism access vital therapy and programs.
This event was designed for all families to enjoy, with a welcoming, sensory-friendly atmosphere and a calming zone to ensure every child could experience the magic of the holidays comfortably. Families enjoyed photos with Santa, kids’ crafts, cookie decorating, and cheerful holiday characters throughout the day.
Guests also explored our Glow & Gather Holiday Market, featuring local artisans, handmade gifts, and festive treats. While the market was open to everyone, tickets were required for Pancakes with Santa—and they sold out quickly!
Thank you to everyone who supported a meaningful cause that brought joy, inclusion, and community connection together.
