Social Santa 2024: Spreading Joy, One Bear at a Time
Fri Dec 27 2024
Santa Lee: The Heart Behind Social Santa
Each year, Santa Lee, lovingly known as 'Social Santa', does his iconic red suit and brings joy to children spending Christmas in the Red Deer Regional Hospital. With a twinkle in his eye and a sack full of stuffed bears, he ensures these little ones feel the warmth of the season, even from their hospital beds. His selflessness and dedication have become a cherished tradition, bringing smiles and hope to families who need it most. Thank you, Santa Lee, for being a beacon of generosity year after year!
All Repair Red Deer: Stuffing Bears with Love
Tyrell, Skye, and their hardworking team at All Repair Red Deer outdid themselves this year. Their efforts to create and deliver stuffed bears to the Ronald McDonald House in Red Deer were nothing short of extraordinary. Each bear carried not just stuffing but also love, compassion, and a special wish for the families facing challenging times. Their commitment to this cause has grown stronger with each passing year, and we are deeply grateful for their unwavering support.
Designated Driver: Partnering for a Greater Cause
This year, the crew at Designated Driver joined forces with All Repair Red Deer to make an even bigger impact. Together, they contributed a substantial number of bears, proving that teamwork truly makes the dream work. Their combined efforts ensured that more families experienced the joy and comfort of receiving these thoughtful gifts during the holiday season.
