The annual Christmas Boutique & Pictures with Santa benefit is an event put on by Zac's Legacy Foundation. But this year they are going further by helping the kids in Evans.

This year, John Carlson and friends decided to pool resources and and help the families in Evans who were devastated by our recent flood.  So Zac’s Legacy Foundation along with Toys for Tots, The Evans Area Chamber, the City of Evans, Evans Fire and Police Departments and Photogenix are all going to join hands and make Christmas that much brighter for many.

To get things kicked off, the Evans Fire Protection District will be hosting a boot drive to promote the event at Sam’s Club in Evans on Saturday, December 7th.

The City of Evans, Zac’s and The Evans Area Chamber are seeking donations of new toys or cash that may be dropped off at the Recreation Desk at the City Complex, Zac’s Legacy Foundation office at 2900 W 29th St. Suite #1 or The First Assembly of God Church at 3000 W. 16th Street in Greeley - John Carlson, Zac's Legacy Foundation

Then on Saturday, December 21st, those families who were affected by the flood are highly encouraged to bring your kids to the Evans Recreation Center (1100 37th Street) between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. The first 200 will get a free picture with Santa himself and a nice Christmas gift.
