Help Santa give joy to children
Donation protected
HELP DELIVER SANTA to the KIDS!!Ricky “Santa” Ritzel has been playing the part of Santa since the age of 18 doing home visits for friends and family, and the past 7 years for the public. He has worked for 98.9 WQLV as Santa and traveled throughout Dauphin County, Schuylkill County, Easton and Maryland visiting hundreds of children during the Christmas Season. The Ritzel family feel so strongly that no child should be without Christmas that they not only have dedicated countless hours to bringing joy, through visits, but have also arranged to provide Christmas gifts for children of families in need through Coal Cracker Region Secret Santa- Operation HELP. Part of this mission is to make home deliveries of donated gifts, from Santa, himself.He is a man who is selflessly bringing hope, love, kindness, belief, and a chance to relive our childhood with the spirit of Christmas. He is a shining example of humanity at its best, how we should all be in this world.
Santa already has a “fun” vehicle to arrive in, which he has purchased himself, an ’85 Chevy k10, with the intent to make these deliveries. However, Santa’s “sled” is in need of some repairs, to have it up and running in time for this year’s Christmas season. SANTA NEEDS YOUR HELP!! All funds collected will go towards the repair of Santa’s transportation which include work on the trucks frame, minor motor repairs and work on the carburetor. Anyone who may be willing to help with these repairs would also be much appreciated.
Ricky “Santa” Ritzel has worked hard to provide the joy and hope of the season to many, which is something you can not put a price tag on. His efforts are year round and extra money to put into this vehicle is simply not in the budget. Please help DELIVER SANTA to the KIDS!
