Chandler and BAM Foundation team up…

CHANDLER, Ariz. - The City of Chandler and the BAM Foundation are teaming up once again - this time to host the Road to Riches Santa at City Hall Car Show & Holiday Market. This free community event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, at the City Hall Parking Garage, 240 S. Washington St., in downtown Chandler.

During the free event, attendees can check out stunning show cars, get a head start on holiday shopping and support local vendors, enjoy local food trucks and a live DJ, and learn about nonprofits serving our community. In addition, kids arts & crafts will be available along with photos with Santa. Printed and digital photos with Santa will be available for purchase.

Those interested in showing off their ride can register online at to secure their spot. The registration fee is $25 per car, plus an online processing fee. Local vendors are still being accepted and may contact the BAM Foundation to sign up.

Event proceeds will benefit the Chandler Public Housing Authority's Road to Riches program. In addition, community nonprofits interested in having an informational booth during the event may email the BAM Foundation to participate.

Last year, the city's Housing and Redevelopment Division partnered with the BAM Foundation and Money Vehicle to launch free financial literacy workshops to City of Chandler's public housing youth residents and participants enrolled in Chandler's Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program. The program continues to benefit Chandler low-income families working to overcome financial challenges, build sustainable wealth and reduce and/or eliminate the need for public assistance.
