Blue Santa is all about bringing hope and joy to families that struggle to make ends meet during the toughest times of the year, the holidays. Help support the SAPOA Blue Santa program by volunteering your time to serve on a Blue Santa committee. There are three different Blue Santa committees to choose from, Logistical Planning Subcommittee, Fundraising Subcommittee, and Community Outreach Subcommittee.
The logistical planning subcommittee will be responsible for providing event planning support for the ten community blue Santa distributions we will be hosting this year. The subcommittee will assist the Blue Cares team with the following tasks: organizing toy assistance applications, organizing toys, and setting up and breaking down events. This subcommittee plays an integral part in ensuring that each family requesting assistance receives holiday cheer from our Blue Cares family.
We hope to have as many Blue Santa volunteers to help support our program. Subcommittee members will work collaboratively with one another for successful event execution.
Meetings will be held bi-weekly starting in July 2022 via Zoom and in person.
The fundraising subcommittee will be responsible for helping Blue Cares secure monetary donations to support our Blue Santa program. The subcommittee will assist the Blue Cares team with helping to identify new potential donors/sponsors and helping solicit donation requests. This subcommittee plays an integral role in ensuring that Blue Cares has the funding support to ensure that each family that applies for toy assistance can receive toys for their children.
Fundraising Committee will be limited to 10 individuals and will meet once a month starting July 2022 via Zoom and in person
The community outreach subcommittee will be responsible for helping Blue Cares by encouraging toy drives from businesses and individuals. The subcommittee will assist the Blue Cares team with identifying potential companies interested in hosting a toy drive or drop-off location. Additionally, this subcommittee will ensure the successful execution of toy drives and follow-up with our sponsors.
Meetings will be held bi-weekly starting in July 2022 via Zoom and in person.
