For the past  7 years, the West Palm Beach SantaCon has drawn hundreds of Santa’s to visit downtown Clematis Street for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 

Each year, men and women dress up as Santa Claus and explore the streets downtown as a fundraiser for the JDRF, the leading global organization funding Type 1 diabetes research.

Santa’s pay $10 to participate in a bar crawl and get a wristband for drink discounts. Bar hop at the chosen bars to have your money go to the organization. The JDRF event is set up by volunteers, so all the night’s proceeds go to the organization.

The bar crawl is…
