The personal development center aims to create a space where children can grow and create lifelong happy memories
BELLEVILLE, CLIFTON, NORTH ARLINGTON N.J. – December 5, 2022 – Families in the tri-state area came out to take pictures with their favorite characters this past weekend at each of Zentai Martial Arts’ three New Jersey locations. The annual free event included pictures with Santa, The Grinch and Elsa, all played by volunteers and staff.
This event brought together families and friends to spread holiday cheer. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in Winter Wonderland-themed photo booths and meet everyone’s favorite service dog, Zentai Ladd.
Ms. Naomy, Zentai’s co-founder, said, “We host this free event that’s open to the entire community year after year because we believe the reason for living is giving and THAT is the essence of the holiday season.”
Zentai’s holiday event began as an effort to bring hope during Christmas 2020 when people needed it most. It has since become a jolly family tradition to kick off the Christmas season for many New Jersey families. Hosted at Zentai’s child development locations in Belleville, Clifton and North Arlington, the event is a town favorite that sells out quicker than ever. This year, they added a 360-degree video booth set in a winter wonderland that captured amazing memories that will last for years. Families enjoyed meeting Santa, making holiday crafts and listening to festive music – all while skipping the long lines at the mall. Zentai Santa’s Workshop has become a cherished tradition for many New Jersey families, and it’s sure to bring holiday cheer for years to come.
“Zentai’s vision is to inspire communities to live a life of growth and contribution. We aim to create a space where children can grow and create lifelong happy memories. There’s no better time to do this than during Christmas,” stated Chief Master and Co-Founder Allen De Peña. “We truly appreciate the parents and high school students that joined our efforts to create this magical space.”
