Hillside Special Santas partners with RAC
Rochester Athletic Club locations will serve as Hillside Special Santa gift tag pick up and gift drop off locations for a second consecutive year
Rochester, NY-November 15, 2007- Hillside Family of Agencies’ holiday giving program, Hillside Special Santas, announces that the Rochester Athletic Club (RAC) will once again be a partner in this year’s effort to make a difference in the lives of youth and families during the holiday season.
The five RAC locations throughout Greater Rochester will display in their lobbies a total of 500 Hillside Special Santas gift tags. Each one describes a specific child’s wish. Beginning November 19, visitors to any of the RAC locations are asked to remove a tag, take it home, and purchase a corresponding gift. Unwrapped gifts should be returned by December 17 to either the RAC locations in Rochester, the RAC for Women locations in Greece, Pittsford, and Perinton, or to Hillside Family of Agencies.
“The partnership between Hillside Special Santas and the Rochester Athletic Club provides a unique opportunity to highlight each organization’s focus on health, wellness, and building community spirit,” says Sally Bohne, Hillside Special Santas manager.
This holiday season, Hillside Special Santas is expanding to help more than 5,600 youth served by Hillside Family of Agencies–1,600 more than in previous years. For more information about becoming a Hillside Special Santa, please call (585) 256-7630 or follow the reindeer at www.hillside.com.
