Thank You for Donating to Orange Santa

Thank you, Orange Santa contributor!

This year, the Orange Santa program received a record-breaking number of applications illustrating the increased need within our university community. Compounding this challenge was the need for physical distancing, making the typical Orange Santa pop-up toy store impossible for 2020. To that end, the Orange Santa team set a lofty goal of being able to provide a $35 gift card to 1,000 children in need this holiday season and, thanks to your generosity, we were able to exceed our goal and assist 1,080 children!

This year, 464 families within our community will have a brighter holiday season because of you. Below are some messages from these families:

Thank you for making my kids’ Christmas awesome and special.

It’s always a blessing every year to receive help from this program.

Given the way this year has gone, this was a huge help, and a stress reliever.

I am appreciative of this program. As a full-time student and mother this program was extremely helpful.

THANK YOU! This has been a challenging year and the support of the university is MUCH appreciated!

Thank you for supporting Orange Santa during this tumultuous and unpredictable time. Wishing you a safe and healthy holiday season.

Best,

Orange Santa Team
