Thank You, Secret Santa Supporters!

The Lawrence County Young Professionals group's fundraising efforts are well under way for Secret Santa, and the positive support received by the community has been amazing. The enthusiasm in schools, churches, and local businesses for this initiative is fantastic. Several organizations have certainly stepped up to the calling, and we would like to thank them for their support.

The Ironton High School Spanish Club has made a commitment to buy Christmas presents for 20 children! What an admirable feat these young people will accomplish as they spread Christmas cheer throughout the county.

Just today, the Ironton Rotary Club made a significant financial donation to the Secret Santa project. Through their support, at least 10 children will have a brighter Christmas.

In addition to civic-minded groups, many individuals and local businesses have contributed to the project. Andrew Burleson, The Grove Nursery, and the Kincaid family (Michael, Sherri, & Emillie) have provided a large boost to the program that will bring many, many smiles and tears of joy this Christmas.

Every financial contribution and every hour of time donated to the Lawrence County Secret Santa program are greatly appreciated. We are experiencing the true meaning of "community" demonstrated across the tri-state area as we spread the word about Secret Santa and compassionate people give. Even the smallest offerings can combine to serve the biggest cause.

Thank you, tri-state, for your support of Secret Santa. Stay tuned to this blog as new donations are made, more children are sponsored, and Christmas mornings across Lawrence County, Ohio, are made more joyous for the less fortunate. We will update as often as we can!
