This holiday season, Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad invites you to help create unforgettable memories aboard the North Pole Adventure™ by symbolically adopting one of our cheerful holiday elves. In partnership with local nonprofits and schools, we welcome children and families to experience the magic of the rails filled with twinkling lights, jingling bells, and joyful moments shared over cookies and laughter. For many, this festive train ride is a rare and treasured experience, and your gift ensures our community partners can join in the wonder.

With a goal of raising $35,000 to support 35 elves, your generosity brings light, connection, and holiday cheer to those who need it most. Be the reason our train is filled with joy—Adopt an Elf today.
