Students work photo booth to raise scholarship dollars

185 local students, teachers, parents and young professionals will work each weekend at the base of the Sundance Square Christmas tree taking photos with Santa starting Friday until Christmas.

This is the 10^th year Sister Cities has partnered with Sundance Square to provide photos with Santa during the holiday season. The money raised provides scholarships for students to participate in international exchanges and programs when financially they would not be able to otherwise.

Last year Sister Cities received over $16,000 for scholarships during the three-week program. “As a benefit of Sundance Santa, youth learn about the cultures of Fort Worth’s sister cities, work together to host international events and serve as youth ambassadors experiencing new cultures firsthand,” said Ann Rice, Chair Elect of Sister Cities.  “These exchanges open the door to the world for students giving them the chance to explore history and experience languages, food, culture and arts of the country they visit. The students also live with host families giving them a unique experience,” said Rice.

Photos are $7.00 each and is 100% tax deductible. The photos make fantastic gifts and holiday cards while benefiting local students.

Sundance Santa starts Friday, November 25 immediately following the Tree Lighting and Sundance Parade of Lights and continues every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through December 23rd.
