Join Us in Celebrating 50 Years of Joy
This year marks a milestone that’s close to our hearts, the 50th anniversary of Hillside’s Special Santa program, a cherished tradition that has brought warmth, hope, and holiday magic to thousands of children and youth in our care. For five decades, generous sponsors like you have helped us turn wish lists into wrapped realities, reminding every child that they are seen, valued, and loved.
For every $50 donated, we purchase two personalized gifts for a child or youth in our care. These aren’t just toys, they’re tokens of joy, chosen with care to reflect each child’s unique interests and needs.
Now, we’re inviting your business or organization to be part of something truly special.
WHY YOUR INVOLVEMENT MATTERS
Your sponsorship doesn’t just fund gifts, it fuels dignity, belonging, and holiday cheer for children and youth who need it most. And in our 50th year, your support helps us make this season unforgettable.
