True Blue Secret Santas are once again needed for this year’s MTSU Little Raiders gift-giving campaign!

In a collaborative effort to assist local children in need this holiday season, the University Police Department is partnering with MTSU Campus Recreation, Student Health Services, and the Nutrition and Dietetics Association to sponsor this year’s Little Raiders campaign.

Beginning Monday, Nov. 16, through Friday, Dec. 4, Christmas trees will be on display at two locations on campus listed below.

Trees will be decorated with tag ornaments listing the age, gender, clothing size and wish list of a child in need. Those wishing to participate are asked to register as a “Secret Santa” and choose a numbered tag from a tree at one of the designated campus locations.

This year’s Christmas tree locations will be:

1) Public Safety Building, 1412 E. Main St. (Open 24 hours)

2) Student Health Services, 1848 Blue Raider Drive (Open during normal office hours)

All Secret Santas participating in this year’s campaign are asked to drop off all gifts and donations at the Public Safety Building by Thursday, Dec. 3. Please remember that the Public Safety Building is open 24 hours a day, so you many drop your gifts off anytime during or after normal office hours for the duration of the drop-off period.

Please contact the University Police Department’s COPS Sgt. Vergena Forbes or COPS Specialist Angela Todd at 615-898-2424 with any questions about this year’s MTSU Little Raider gift-giving campaign.
