Simon Secret Santa

Overview

For more than 30 years, Simon Volunteers have led one of our proudest traditions—Simon Secret Santa. This community initiative provides gifts for over 200 children and families in the Rochester community during the holiday season. This is only possible because of supporters like you!

Please join Simon Volunteers and the Office of Student Engagement in spreading holiday cheer by making a gift to the Simon Volunteers Secret Santa fund.

Thank you for your help and for keeping this amazing Simon tradition alive!

Student Testimonial

“Last year, I had the privilege of shopping for three wonderful kids, checking off items from their wish lists. It was such a rewarding experience to know that every gift would bring a little extra joy to their holiday season. The best part was joining classmates for a day dedicated to wrapping all the gifts, the room was full of people coming together to make a difference and the energy was unforgettable. This year, as the President of Simon Volunteers, I’m excited to do it all over again and hope you’ll join me in helping make a child’s holiday season just as special. Every donation makes a difference, and together, we can spread holiday cheer and kindness where it’s truly needed.

Thank you for being part of this mission!”
