Each year, the Marshal’s Office, in partnership with Augusta Regional
Airport and Augusta Partnership for Children, hosts the Santa Fly-In Toy
Drive to bring holiday joy to families in need. This year’s event took place on
Saturday, December 14th, creating a magical experience for local children
and their families.

With the support of Augusta Partnership for Children, 44 families with 146
children were invited to Augusta Regional Airport for a festive Christmas
celebration. The event featured dancing, crafts, games, bouncy houses, and a
Christmas breakfast provided by CG Catering, bringing smiles and laughter
to all in attendance. Special guests, The Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, and Buddy
the Elf also made an appearance, adding to the holiday excitement.
The highlight of the day was Santa Claus’s grand entrance, as he arrived on
the tarmac in a helicopter piloted by the Georgia State Patrol. Each child
received wrapped gifts from their wish list, and families were provided with
ham and all the fixings—courtesy of Faith Baptist Church of Thomson and
Woodlawn Baptist Church—to enjoy a Christmas dinner at home.

This event truly showcased the spirit of unity, generosity, and community
support. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our employees and community
partners who adopted families and helped make the holidays brighter for
those in need. Thank you for making this season one of joy and giving!
