Excerpted from the article (AKA press release):
"Last Saturday, 43 well-deserving kids from shelters and transitional housing spent a magical evening alongside more than 200 volunteer elves on a special journey to the North Pole."
"The Boeing 737
departed Spokane, Wash., with six of our crewmembers and one mission: deliver smiles and holiday joy during a 40-minute nonstop trip to Santa’s hometown."
"
While airborne, the festivities soared as the kids and their chaperone elves sang carols, played games, shared stories and recited the magical chant that would allow the aircraft to enter Santa’s airspace."
