The main event, Winter Wonderland, will take place on Saturday, December 14.
The special day brings together a group of seriously and terminally ill children and their families to enjoy breakfast, followed by a magical hour-long train ride on the Metra's Union Pacific Northwest line where volunteers dressed as elves will bring smiles, entertainment and laughs while traveling to the "North Pole" station.
Upon arrival, Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with an incredible crew of local firefighters and police officers, will welcome the families to the Winter Wonderland setting of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont for an afternoon filled with dancing, food, candy, music, games and presents.
Participating in this event will guarantee you a spot on Santa's "GOOD LIST" and warm you up from the inside out!
