Rudolph Red Tag Sale & Holiday Party

Rudolph Red Tag would not be possible without the generosity of our Big Winnipeg community in helping our Littles find gifts for their families each holiday season. With our Bigs & Littles coming back yearly to make handmade holiday crafts & ornaments, plus mingle over holiday treats, their reaction coming to the event is why we continue to share the festive spirit with our represented families 🦌🎁🎄
