Each December, first responders from across Central Ohio come together for Operation Santa’s Sleigh, a holiday tradition dedicated to spreading joy, hope, and support to children and families during the Christmas season.
Organized by Light Ohio Blue, this event unites law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, and public safety agencies in a festive caravan of decorated emergency vehicles, delivering holiday cheer while supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio.
This video captures the spirit, emotion, and community pride that define the 2025 Central Ohio Operation Santa’s Sleigh.
