CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – The Chattanooga Red Wolves Foundation hosted its annual Christmas gift program at CHI Memorial Stadium, bringing holiday cheer to children and families from across Hamilton County.
The foundation holds the event each year to provide Christmas gifts, essential items, and a memorable holiday experience for students from multiple schools in the district.
On Saturday morning, families were welcomed to the stadium for a breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus before children picked up their gifts.
Stephanie Figa, the Community School Program Manager at East Ridge Elementary, says the event goes beyond presents and helps build lasting connections within the community.
“I would love for us to continue building a partnership with the Red Wolves Soccer Club,” Figa said. “Doing things together all year long, bringing our kids together, and really building out that sense of community means so much to our families.”
Figa says the program has grown significantly over the past two years, allowing the foundation to reach more children and families each holiday season.
“They’ve grown so much in just the first two years,” she said. “We hope to continue that growth so we can help an even larger number of families next year.”
The Chattanooga Red Wolves Foundation says it remains committed to supporting local students and families through community partnerships and outreach efforts throughout the year.
