Spreading Cheer to Horry County Children

Substitutes for Santa

Held each December in partnership with SOS Care, Substitutes for Santa provides a magical Christmas experience for more than 150 local children in Horry County. The children are first taken to Fun Warehouse for games and pizza, then they are taken to Walmart to buy Christmas presents. Each child also is sent home with a bag of necessary household items.
