Operation Santa Sleigh 2022 is a statewide event by Light Ohio Blue and our partners at the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association, Ohio State Highway Patrol, International Association of Firefighters, State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, Santa’s Hide-A-Way Village, and the hundreds of public safety agencies participating. This year there will be two new components; dropping off items to the Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio as the caravan passes by and a vehicle decoration contest.
Operation Santa’s Sleigh will occur at seven cities in Ohio simultaneously on December 28, 2022, at 8 p.m. All the Children’s Hospitals and our two state Veterans Homes will be visited by first responders to spread holiday cheer to some of the most special of Ohioans. The event is solely comprised of members from public safety agencies with the desire to spread the Christmas spirit.
The event was originally scheduled for December 23, yet was postponed until December 28.
