RE: Grand Strand Young Professionals and SOS Healthcare Host 13th Annual Substitutes for Santa
Date: November 26, 2019
The holiday spirit is alive and well with the 13th Annual Substitutes for Santa community service event scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019, from 4-8 p.m. at Fun Warehouse and Walmart. Designed to brighten the holidays of 120 Horry County underprivileged children, this special shopping experience is hosted by the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce's Grand Strand Young Professionals (GSYP) and SOS Healthcare.
Each volunteer will be paired up with one child for the evening, which begins with dinner at Fun Warehouse followed by skating, laser tag, inflatables and crafts. It continues with a shopping spree at the Highway 544 Walmart where the volunteer will assist their child in picking toys and other items on their wish lists.
GSYP holds several fundraising events throughout the year to raise money to support this event, and volunteers, donations and sponsors help make this event a success.
This event would not be possible without the partnership between GSYP and Fun Warehouse and the generous donations from Mozzarella’s, Sonic and Duck Donuts.
The presenting sponsors for the 2019 Subs for Santa include: Dependable Services, Grand Strand Optimist Club, Myrtle Beach Downtown Redevelopment Corporation, and Portside Grande Dunes.
