Get ready for a spectacular event that combines winter fun, delicious food, exciting games, and a chance to support a fantastic cause! Springbrook Foundation is hosting their premier fundraiser, "Unlock the Magic," on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 1-4pm. The event will take place at Oakdale Commons (Harry L Dr., Johnson City, NY) at the first and third courts (near JC Penney and near Dave & Busters).

Step into a Winter Wonderland

Oakdale Commons will be transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland filled with fun for the whole family:

  • Delicious Food & Drinks: Beer Tree Factory will be on-site serving up amazing appetizers, treats, and drinks (alcoholic beverages available for purchase with ID).
  • Games of Chance: Try your luck with the event's unique "lock and key" raffle!
  • Creative Fun: Enjoy face painting and balloon animals, as well as making your own keepsake ornament at the Ornament Station.
  • Family Adventures: Participate in a fun Scavenger Hunt throughout the courts.
  • Raffles Galore: Tables will be lined with a surplus of raffle baskets and prizes! Each prize is secured with an actual lock. Your ticket includes keys to test your luck! If your key unlocks the lock, you win the prize! You can also purchase extra keys for more chances to win.

Use Your Key to Unlock More Than Just a Prize

The proceeds from Unlock the Magic go directly toward strengthening community connections and providing life-changing opportunities for the individuals Springbrook serves.

Funds will support future family engagement initiatives, including:

  • Transportation for special experiences like Major League Baseball games.
  • New York City Family Fun Days.
  • Scholarships to ensure families facing financial challenges can also take part in these enriching, memory-making experiences.

By attending, you are helping Springbrook build strong, inclusive connections and creating lasting memories for all the individuals and families they empower!
