Waukesha Masonic Lodge hosts annual Breakfast with Santa, proceeds to benefit parade victims

 

WAUKESHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- After being canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Waukesha Masonic Lodge hosted its annual Breakfast with Santa event Saturday morning, Dec. 4, at its temple located on South Street in Waukesha.

Members of the lodge made and served pancakes, sausage links and other breakfast items with kids able to visit Santa Claus after their meal.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the United for Waukesha Community Fund, something lodge president Gary Ebert says the group is honored to help support.

"The need is so great," Ebert said. It's our way of giving back to the community and it's also our way of helping the community heal from the pain and suffering that was experienced here a few weeks back."

Along with breakfast, attendees were able to purchase cookies from a bake sale and even Christmas ornaments.
