Authorities are now speaking out against the popular fundraiser, claiming that it has strayed far from its original purpose of bringing cheer to those in need.

As the event's organizers face growing criticism and scrutiny, it remains to be seen whether SantaCon can redeem itself and live up to its original mission of spreading holiday joy."
