Our History |
Spreading the true meaning of the Christmas season by giving to those in need, the Secret Santa Car Show has worked hard to grow the funds needed to provide a Merry Christmas to needy children in our area. Children who benefit from this program are recommended by local educators and members of our public safety departments. After being carefully screened, eligible children receive new winter coats, shoes, socks, sweaters, items for infants and toiletries along with a toy or other item appropriate for their age. None of the personal information on our recipients is ever shared publicly.
