USO Children's Holiday Party: From Sea to Shining Sea

This event last took place on Dec 14th, 2024
12:00 PM EST (1200R)

Military Families - Join us for our annual flagship holiday event! We’ll transform the Wright-Patterson USO Center into a Winter Wonderland, complete with holiday-themed games, crafts, gifts, a photo station, and visits from special guests (like Santa and Mrs. Claus!) This year your family will even have the chance to step into a snow globe. Open to currently serving military members (active duty, guard, and reserve) and their families.

Our Children’s Holiday Party is our most popular event of the year. If demand exceeds supply, we will run a LOTTERY to select 90 families from all who register. We will only accept registrations from currently serving families (Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve.)

A few key details:

  • This is an in-person event, focused on military children. Please do not register for the lottery if you have no children in your family.
  • Lottery results will be distributed via e-mail NLT Monday, Dec 9.
  • At least one parent or guardian must attend with their children. Attendees must have access to WPAFB.
  • We will be collecting non-perishable food items for a local food pantry. Please bring a food item with you to the event.
  • Please call the WPAFB USO at 937-904-0537 if you have any questions or email Erik Oberg, at eoberg@uso.org.
