Dr. Mishi, Santa D.Sinclair & Kids at Chase Center
SAN FRANCISCO – Dec. 18, 2023 – PRLog — The Ella Hill Hutch Community Center and the African American Arts & Culture Complex were alive with holiday spirit this past weekend for the eagerly anticipated event, Wakanda Winter Wonderland. Families from all walks of life came together to enjoy the festive celebration, which featured Santa In The City, presented by Hey Carter! Books.
The event started with a toy giveaway, bringing joy to children and families as they received gifts to brighten their holiday season. Ice skating, face painting, cookie decorating, and arts and crafts stations provided entertainment for all ages. The special highlight of the day was the chance for children and adults to take photos with The Real Black Santa, Santa D. Sinclair, who brought smiles to all faces.
The night ended with a special treat for select families who attended the Golden State Warriors game against the Brooklyn Nets at the Chase Center. Generously sponsored by the Warriors Foundation, families received beautifully wrapped gifts and had the honor of receiving them from Santa himself. To top it off, the kids had the chance to shoot free throws on the court after the game, creating unforgettable memories.
Dr. Thomishia Booker (Dr. Mishi), founder of Hey Carter! Books, emphasized the importance of events like Santa In The City and Wakanda Winter Wonderland, saying, “It is crucial for children to see a Santa that reflects their own experiences. This event not only brings joy but also promotes literacy and the power of imagination.”
The event was made possible by the generous support of the following partners:
– San Francisco Human Rights Commission
– Collective Impact
- Mo Magic
– Golden State Warriors Generation Thrive
– Everybody Reads SF
Dr. Thomishia Booker’s book, “Santa Claus Is Coming To The Town,” is available for purchase on https://heycarterbooks.com/. This heartwarming story captures the spirit of the holiday season and encourages children to embrace the magic of Santa Claus.
