Rudolph Champions Needed

Heartland for Children coordinates the Annual Rudolph Round-Up Holiday Toy Drive to benefit local children who have experienced abuse and neglect and are receiving services through the foster care system. Last year 1,410 children and teens were able to be served through generous donations from our local community. Our goal for the 2016 12th Annual Rudolph Round-Up Holiday Toy Drive is to help to ensure that at least 1400 local children who have experienced abuse and neglect have holiday gifts and joyful celebrations. Our greatest need each year is for child wish list and toy drive donors for children ages birth to two and teens, ages 13 to 17. It is through the continued and valued support of individuals, groups, organizations, faith communities and businesses - Rudolph Champions - that the children’s holiday wishes come true!

We need your help! We are looking for Rudolph Champions, who will commit to making a difference in the life of a child this holiday season by:

·      sponsoring an individual child's wishes or wishes for a specific number of children that you designate
·      sponsoring a toy drive individually, through your business, organization, school or faith community
·      making a monetary contribution 
·      fundraising through creative activities
·      Spreading the news & recruiting family & friends to support the 12th Annual Rudolph Round-Up Toy Drive
·      Help recruit Rudolph Champions by sharing Heartland’s Rudolph-related posts on social media

To make a commitment to be a Rudolph Champion, contact Andrea Hagan at (863) 519-8900 ext. 214 or email rudolph@heartlandforchildren.org with any questions you may have or for additional information.
