Make the Season Bright in Central New York! Santa for Seniors 2024 Is Here

It's the most wonderful time of year.

Santa for Seniors is back for 2024 to make sure no one is forgotten during the holiday season in Central New York. Will you help?

We teamed up with the Oneida County Office for Aging and Slocum Dickson Medical Group for our annual Santa For Seniors.

Santa for Seniors

Often times seniors have no family left in the area and are alone during the holidays. They are also surviving on a very limited income.

With your help, we can make sure they have something to smile about on Christmas Day.

Featured Seniors & Codes

Each day we'll feature Central New York seniors and their Christmas wish lists. We'll even highlight their interests, favorite colors, and clothing sizes.

Due to confidentiality laws, full names can not be disclosed. Specific codes are assigned to each senior so we know the right gift gets to the right senior.

Each code must be MARKED ON EVERY GIFT IN PERMANENT MARKER.

Email Options

You don't have to wait for us to mention a senior on the air, message us anytime and just let us know "I want to be a Santa for a Senior."

You can also reach out on the Big Frog 104 app. Just send us a text.

We can do it via e-mail as well. Jjust drop a note to: Polly@BigFrog104.com. If you don't receive an email, check your spam folder. Many say they are finding the response there.

Many offices and families combine their efforts to adopt several seniors. We can provide all the information in an email to get you started on shopping for the holiday season.
