  4. Double Dipping • Sub for Santa Utah County will cross check names with other organizations. If you “double-dip” and are receiving help from another program (school, church, etc.), we will not help you. We want to make sure the most number of people are helped this season.

  6. The Importance of Saying “Thank You!” to Your Sponsor Some Ideas: • Write a thank you note. • Have your children draw a picture or letter for “Santa” and give to your sponsor when gifts are delivered. • If you are comfortable with it, give a picture of your children to the sponsor. • Bake a special treat to give them. • Smile, say “thank you” and really mean it.
