Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Dealers Association Brings the Magic of Christmas to Area Children and Their Families, Including the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley, Camelot for Children, and Participating Foster Care Organizations<\/em><\/p>\n

Lehigh Valley, PA, December 17, 2024 \u2013<\/strong> The Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Dealers Association (GLVADA) recently hosted a heartwarming Children\u2019s Christmas Luncheon on December 15, 2024, at the Delta by Marriott in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. The event capped off a successful holiday toy drive with toy donation boxes in 22 new car and truck dealers across the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n

Families enjoyed a festive afternoon complete with a holiday kids\u2019 buffet, live music, toy giveaways, and memorable visits from beloved holiday characters, including Santa, Mrs. Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Made possible by GLVADA, iHeartMedia, and PSECU, this special event created \u201cChristmas\u201d and featured \u201cPhotos with Santa\u201d for children and families facing challenges. This includes area residents supported by the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley, Camelot for Children and various area foster care organizations from Lehigh Valley, Monroe County and Pottsville.<\/p>\n

Among the attendees was a brave young boy, Jackson, age 5 of Brodheadsville, Pa, currently undergoing active chemotherapy, who joined the celebration with his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Car and Truck Dealers along with our generous supporters, are honored to bring smiles to so many families during his special time of year,\u2019 expressed Dan Moyer, Executive Director of GLVADA. \u201cGLVADA member dealerships were proud to see so many employees and members of our community contribute new, unwrapped toys during our toy drive showing the spirit of hope and joy that defines the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

As GLVADA looks ahead, preparations are already underway for the 2025 Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Show, set to take place in March. The association remains dedicated to supporting local nonprofit organizations, helping automotive technology students, and contributing to the well-being of the communities its members serve.<\/p>\n
