Description

To Whom It May Concern:


We are kindly requesting donations for raffles for our event scheduled for October
25th, 2024. Donations are tax deductible and can come in the form of gift cards,
gift certificates, event tickets, merchandise, etc.
In 2020, Christian J. Santo unexpectedly passed away. Those who knew Christian
knew he was a presence in any room and in some way, touched the lives of those
he befriended. He was an undeniably selfless individual with a passion for helping
others. To continue his legacy of giving back, the Christian J. Santo Legacy
Foundation was created.


The mission of the Christian J. Santo Legacy Foundation is to provide support and
financial assistance in the fields of education, health and sports to children and
families that may be distressed. Although we provide assistance to a variety of
causes, the primary focus of our work is financially assisting children with special
needs and providing baseball scholarships to promising athletes, as these were
the causes that Christian J. Santo felt fiercely for during his lifetime. Past recipients
include a family with two autistic children in financial distress, several deserving
college athletes who received baseball athletic college scholarships, two young
boys living with disabilities who received the necessary tools to succeed as they
enter college and a young girl living with a spinal cord condition who required an
electric wheelchair.
