It was two days of Sleigh Rides for our Michigan Secret Santas. Making their way across Detroit accompanied by the Detroit Chief of Police and other officers, they touched many lives, from disabled children to those in need at thrift stores, diners and on the street. A lot of attention focused on needy families, with tears all around. The stories were heart wrenching and the image of the Chief of Police giving away Santa's $100 bills will remain etched in everyone's minds. It was a good two days for Detroit and its suburbs.
Without fanfare or media, Secret Santa and a small team of ELFs to include All Pro, NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker Dick Butkus, spent a full day meeting and passing out $100 bills to the homeless and those in need. Santa and his ELFs received as much joy as those whose lives they touched on that cold rainy day.
