Santa Clothes
More than 366 people helped with the shopping and logistics at JC Penny’s. When the kids were done, they were taken to UNLV to play at various stations hosted by members of UNLV’s men’s and women’s athletic teams. Thereafter they were fed lunch and were given an inspirational speech about the importance of hard work and education. When they left, they all received a sports ball.
In 1996 the First Santa Clothes started with 35 kids. The 2021 Santa Clothes Program served 348 children. The Southern Nevada area Rotary Clubs raised the $74,820 needed to pay for the kids to shop at JC Penny’s. JC Penny’s provided all goods at a discount which together with other donations of gifts and food provided goods and services worth $180,795.00. Since its inception, Santa Clothes has provided needy kids with $1,696,696.04 worth of winter clothing, shoes and gifts. The support of all the Southern Nevada area Rotary Clubs will be a blessing to local children for years to come.
