Many Children Hoping to Receive the Gift of a Big Brother or Big Sister

Dec. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Thousands of children nationwide are encouraged and get a little help in life from their “Big Brother” or “Big Sister;” and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County, California is getting a little help from “Santa’s Official Website,” MyElfHelp.com.

Children can enjoy reading daily personal messages from Santa at MyElfHelp.com. They can also make a “wish list” and write letters to Santa, watch SantaCam videos, check their status on the “Naughty or Nice” meter, play Christmas games, watch a holiday TV special and even listen to TOT’s Radio holiday music and storytelling. The one-time $9.95 family subscription generates a children’s charity donation.

“The proceeds donated through MyElfHelp.com will help us match the 200 children on our waiting list with positive role models and help support the over 1,250 children that are currently matched with mentors,” said Emile Perkins, marketing director for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County. “This holiday season, many children are hoping to receive the gift of a Big Brother or Big Sister and support from organizations and donors like this make those wishes come true.  We're truly grateful to all who support Big Brothers Big Sisters through MyElfHelp.com."

Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are proven to reduce a child’s risk of dropping out of school, becoming violent, using drugs and alcohol, and falling victim to other negative cycles that threaten our society. The non-profit organization depends on donations to ensure child safety and provide support for children, families and volunteers to build and sustain strong relationships. “Our work is very important,” said Ms. Perkins. “Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County is a donor-supported volunteer organization that changes children’s lives.” More details can be found at their website: www.bigbrooc.org.

“It’s important that all children have positive role models,” said Sandy Scheppmann, CEO/president of MyElfHelp.com. “The dedicated volunteers at Big Brothers Big Sisters make this a reality for thousands of children, with lasting impact. I have a friend that is still closely connected with his 'little brother' after 25 years."

"We hope MyElfHelp.com is a fun place where parents, grandparents and children can gather as a family to keep the spirit and traditions of Santa alive ‘virtually’ while also sharing a donation gift to their favorite children’s charity.”

A link directory makes it easy for parents to shop online for children’s books, clothing, toys and other items.
