Santa Boots: Maverick Region’s Work with the Boot Campaign By Boot Campaign Staff Photo courtesy of the Boot Campaign or more than half a F century the Maverick Region of the Porsche Club of America has been driving friendships and spreading good will to the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex. During the 2016 holiday season that effort was expanded to 60 new families when the Maverick’s joined military nonprofit Boot Campaign as a sponsor in its heralded Santa Boots outreach program. Providing Christmas gifts is often a challenge for service families with financial difficulties, and Boot Campaign developed the Santa Boots program to join with other patriots to relieve some of that holiday stress while showing continued support from our grateful nation. Each year, veteran and active duty families are nominated by the Boot Campaign network to receive Santa Boots gift packages. Items are wrapped and tagged by Boot Campaign Elves, noting the gifts’ donors on the tag, and placed in personalized family boxes with a heartfelt note of gratitude from Boot Campaign. There are 20 to 30 amazing gifts per family box, including multiple WOW-type gifts to add to the excitement, and they are Boot Campaign family box delivered as a SURPRISE just days before Christmas. Santa Boots gifts are collected from patriotic families, businesses and organization from across the country, like PCA’s Maverick Region, which generously sponsored funds to purchase special Cinemark Movie bundles to bless 60 recipient families. The Mavericks’ donation was customized to each box based on family size, so the entire family could have a free night out at the movies that included food concessions for each family member. “The Maverick Region of PCA was excited about the opportunity to play a role in financially supporting the Boot Campaign’s Santa Boots program during Christmas 2016,” reflects Richard Solomon, the Region Treasurer. “Many of our members are veterans, so we were especially proud of what this program did to touch the lives of our American heroes.” Boot Campaign’s annual Santa Boots outreach campaign was developed in 2015 by the five founding “Boot Girls” of Boot Campaign as a holiday program that the military non-profit charity’s volunteers and sponsors could get actively involved with. “Santa Boots is such a terrific way of connecting civilian Americans to the brave men and women who served, and is our small way of making sure they feel appreciated for their service and sacrifice at a time of year when many feel stretched financially,” says Sherri Reuland, Boot Campaign Board Member and one of the Boot Campaign’s five founding Boot Girls. “We are so thankful to have dedicated and generous program partners like Maverick Region, who have taken a leap of faith with us in Santa Boots to spread holiday cheer to those deserving families in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area,” adds Reuland. “The Santa Boots program does as much for the heart of those who participate in preparing these family gift boxes as it does for those who receive them.” Big smiles not only come to the recipients but also to Boot Campaign Elves, who wrap and customize the family gift boxes based on a family profile with “just the right touch.” The Elves then deliver the “surprise” personally to Santa Boots families for a hard-to-match experience of the season. “Santa Boots is about more than Christmas gifts or patriotism to me,” says Pamela Hughes, a Boot Campaign Elf. “Santa Boots lets me bring love and hope to families during a time that may be difficult. When they receive a box, you can see that it’s like they are overwhelmed with a sense of hope and knowing that people care more than they knew.” Adds Sgt. First Class Nurse (Ret.) Cassandra Cantin, U.S. Army, a Boot Campaign Hero Ambassador and Elf: “This experience has truly changed my life as well as the lives of so many veterans and their families. It’s one thing to hear someone say ‘thank you for your service,’ but it’s a whole different ball game when someone says it and then shows up with this big box of thanks. It shows that not only do you matter for showing what you are willing to sacrifice, but your family matters and we are thinking about you all.” “We are thrilled and honored to have the Boot Campaign as one of only two charities we support through our club activities,” concludes Solomon. “We look forward to future events we can partner with the Boot Campaign to support our military veterans and active duty service men and women.” 27
