Santa arrived to The Shops at Prudential Center and the kick-off to Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s 2012 Holiday-Wish-A-Thon on Saturday, December 1st. Santa joined local wish families on a special Boston Duck Tour around the city.
In celebration of Santa’s arrival to The Shops at Prudential Center and the kick-off to Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s 2012 Holiday-Wish-A-Thon, Santa joined local wish families on a special Boston Duck Tour around the city. Captaining the boat for part of the ride along the Charles River was 7-year-old wish child, Kevin Rich of Mansfield, MA.
Benjamin Mills, a 10-year-old wish child from Framingham, MA celebrated Santa’s arrival to The Shops at Prudential Center and the kick-off to Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s 2012 Holiday-Wish-A-Thon on Saturday, December 1st. The fun began for Benjamin and other local wish children and their families as soon as they boarded their "DUCK" with Jolly St. Nick!
