Santa’s 2024 Holly Jolly Sleigh Tour was another success! This annual community tradition brings the magic of Santa and Mrs. Claus to 80 Naperville neighborhoods during the holiday season. Coordinating Santa’s annual tour is no small feat: PowerForward DuPage contractors team up with the IBEW Local 701 every night to “drive” Santa’s Sleigh.

This year, Santa’s Reindeer Crew renovated a flatbed trailer donated by Leyden Electric and gave it the ultimate Santa make-over, adding NEW sleigh sides and of course MORE LIGHTS! The crew, along with members of the IBEW Local 701’s RENEW and Women’s Committees, also served as Santa’s Nightly Navigators, leading and trailing each “flight” to ensure a magical and safe experience for all.

Each night of the tour, Santa’s sleigh was “POWERED” by one of the following PowerForward DuPage contractors:

THANK YOU to these incredible contractors and THANK YOU to Santa’s amazing Reindeer Crew –  IBEW Local 701’s Business Manager Tony Giunti, Assistant Business Manager Frank Gravina, Business Representatives Bob Perreault, John Roti, Albert Lomeli, Membership Organizer Brian Schulz, Santa Tim Furco, Santa John Bergner, and Karyn “Mrs. C” Charvat, from PowerForward DuPage. Check out some tour photos below and our Thank You and Tour Recap videos on YouTube. See you again in 2025!
