Border City Connects is hoping to raise some much-needed funds not only for themselves but also for the City’s other numerous non-profits this holiday season.
The organization wants to do this through a “White Envelope Campaign,” believed to be the first of its kind undertaken. It’s based on the story “The Man Who Hated Christmas.” The story is based around a man tired of the commercial aspects of the Christmas season. As a way to do something for her husband, his wife donates the money to an underprivileged local sports team to buy gear, and from there putting a yearly white envelope of money on the tree to donate to a worthy cause.
