V101.5, Clara White Mission, and the Divine 9, together host the Annual December to Remember Christmas Party, dedicated to lifting the spirits of deserving families.
History of December To Remember
The December to Remember Special Event has been in existence for 30 years. The concept and the ideal was developed and sponsored by radio station V101.5 and co-sponsored by local Greek Organizations in partnership with the Clara White Mission. The Clara White Mission has been responsible for identifying and screening up to six families for their personal stories to be read over the radio on V101.5. The stories are read until Christmas, starting after the Thanksgiving Holiday.
On a designated date the Christmas Party is scheduled in the community for all the family members to attend, and Christmas gifts are distributed with a special luncheon, and each child, parent(s), and or caregiver is provided with their Christmas “Wish List” items, their own personal Santa Claus at the party, and an afternoon filled with holiday cheer and a surprise financial gift for each family, presented by the Title and or Co-Title Corporate Sponsor.
Radio Station V101.5, Clara White Mission, and over 150 local Greek Sororities and Fraternities, together host the Annual December to Remember Christmas Party, dedicated to lifting the spirits of deserving families.
Every year applications are submitted by non-profits, local schools, and or community organizations to the Clara White Mission for consideration.
Over 565 individuals have been impacted to date and this represents over 206 families that have received holiday support for over 30 years. In addition, several parents that have been helped by the December to Remember, have come back and given back to the new families, by volunteering and or donating to the event.
