DMMF Kids has partnered with Warrior Ice Arena, the state of the art Boston Bruins practice facility, and home of the WNHL team, the Boston Pride, for our annual holiday event. DMMF Kids' Breakfast & Skate with Santa will be held on 12/21/2019 from 10:30AM-2PM. All tickets include a buffet breakfast, picture with santa, admission to the skating portion of the event, and cost of skate rental. There will be a silent auction, raffles, and more!
All proceeds to benefit DMMF Kids, a branch of the Dennis Messing Memorial Foundation, dedicated to providing support to children who have lost a parent or who have an absentee parent due to alcohol or substance use disorder. Our annual Breakfast with Santa event helps to fulfill the many requests for assistance with Christmas gifts that DMMF Kids receives from guardians of children who have lost a parent or have an absentee parent as a result of alcohol and/or substance abuse. The majority of our Christmas requests come from grandparents who have unexpectadly become their grandchilds legal guardian after the death of their own son or daughter due to a drug overdose. A lot of these grandparents are older, and rely on a limited income. They may not have the finanical means to provide their grandchild(ren) with Christmas gifts due to the increased financial pressures they have faced since gaining custody or guardianship of their grandchild(ren).
