Operation Santa Claus Raises $42K at Colleton River Plantation
Santa Claus is making a list and checking it twice in a remarkable Bluffton SC private golf community. This year Santa is going to find out which Colleton River Plantation volunteers have been naughty or nice during the community Operation Santa Claus Program. The fact is the volunteers have all been extraordinarily nice over the past years raising over $100,000 dollars for kids toys at Christmas. Their compassionate hearts won Colleton River Plantation Community Finder's first Commendables Award.
Last year, Operation Santa Claus was comprised of more than 1,400 volunteers and raised a significant amount of money for the cause. Many of the Colleton River Plantation residents were volunteers and helped the program raise approximately $34,000 last Christmas season. This year, they've raised the bar raising $42,000 for kids! The Colleton River Plantation volunteers donated their time and efforts to raise money to aid mentally compromised children and adults during the holidays. Holiday presents were purchased, wrapped and delivered to 307 families in the area and this Bluffton SC private golf community helped make a very merry Christmas to people inside and outside Colleton River Plantation.
Currently celebrating its 13th Anniversary, the non-profit 501(c)(3) program, Operation Santa Claus, is bigger than ever at Colleton River Plantation.
