As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the magic of believing—the wide-eyed wonder of a child stepping onto a plane bound for the North Pole, the joyful laughter as they meet Santa himself, the warmth of a community coming together to make dreams come true.

For 29 years, Spokane Fantasy Flight has created unforgettable moments for children facing adversity, taking over 1,750 little dreamers on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to a place where hope and happiness reign. But with rising costs and economic uncertainty, keeping the magic alive has never been more challenging.

This is where you come in.

This year, our theme is “Letters to Santa,” and we invite you to answer the wishes of these incredible children by joining us in support of Spokane Fantasy Flight. Your generosity ensures that the magic continues—fueling the sleigh, filling hearts with joy, and giving each child the belief that they are valued and loved.

One of the most exciting ways to help is by attending our Annual Auction & Gala on September 20th at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino in the Pend O’Reille Pavilion.  This unforgettable evening features inspiring stories, thrilling auction items, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Your gift—whether through sponsorship, donations, or attending our gala—can turn a wish into reality. Together, we can ensure that each child’s letter to Santa is met with a resounding yes.

Are you ready to make magic happen?

Steve Paul, President & CEO

I’ve been an elf for 26 years, which is 1200 elf years!

Our Mission

Northwest North Pole Adventures (NNPA) creates the Spokane Fantasy Flight, an extraordinary experience for underprivileged and vulnerable children by harnessing the enchantment of Christmas. With a community gathering designed to provide a safe and imaginative journey, we communicate to these kids that they are valued, honored, and always remembered—a cherished memory that will stay with them forever.

Our Values

Nurture in these children the conviction that they can achieve anything, and that their positive decisions yield personal rewards, amplifying their hope for a brighter future.

Alleviate significant stress for families, parents, and guardians by allowing them to allocate their limited resources toward essential necessities instead of solely focusing on creating a meaningful Christmas experience for their children.

Foster a platform for businesses, community agencies, organizations, and individuals to engage in purposeful collaboration, encouraging cooperation, empathy, relationship-building, organizational prowess, creativity, and effective communication.

Strengthen community bonds across individuals, businesses, and generations, as they collaborate to show these children that genuine care and compassion exist.

Guide the older siblings within these families to discover the intrinsic rewards of assisting their younger sisters and brothers in realizing the Christmas magic, even amidst the challenging realities they face daily.
