Dec. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- The holidays came early this year for the children at Kids In Distress (KID) based in Fort Lauderdale. Members of Zimmerman Advertising’s zMotion cycling group recently surprised the children one afternoon with a very special delivery, the big jolly man himself, Santa Claus!

Santa and his zMotion elves arrived from the North Pole in an antique fire truck provided by the Fort Lauderdale Fire and Safety Museum. They greeted the children ranging in age from 1 to 5 with candy canes and wrapped toys.

“It was truly an incredible experience to watch these kids faces light up with huge grins when Santa called each of their names one by one and gave them a present to open,” shares Mike Schweiger, agency Chief Financial Officer and one of the founding partners of the zMotion team. “This was a wonderful afternoon and I want to thank all of our zMotion members for helping make this holiday even brighter for the children at KID.”

Members of zMotion also served pizza and ice cream donated by Papa John’s and Friendly’s.
