🎄 UTRID Sub for Santa – Two Ways to Give This Holiday Season! 🎁

Hello UTRID Members and Friends,

It’s that time of year again! 🎅✨
UTRID is excited to host our annual Sub for Santa to support Deaf and Hard of Hearing families and individuals in need this holiday season — and we’d love your help!

This year, you can give in two ways:

  1. Monetary Donations – Help UTRID purchase gifts and food gift cards
  2. Buy a Gift Directly for families and individuals in need
      1. Family 2’s Wishlist
      2. Family 1’s Wishlist

Use this QR code or visit utrid.com/donations and you’ll see several options to help out- by donating money or purchasing gifts directly.

🕓 Gift purchase deadline: Dec. 5

Your support helps bring joy, connection, and warmth to members of our community during the holidays. ❤️

If you have any questions, please contact Pamela at pamelam@utrid.org.

Thank you for helping make the season brighter!

Warm wishes,
The UTRID Team
