What is Santa’s Helper?
Santa’s Helper, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was founded in 1986 by former Wake Forest running back Chip Rives. Each year, dedicated board members team up with more than a hundred current Deacon athletes to buy, wrap, and deliver presents and books to nearly 1,000 deserving children in the Winston-Salem, NC area.
