Who We Are and What We Do
Since our inception, THE CAPITAL CHRISTMAS GROUP has indeed changed, morphed and ultimately expanded. The one thing though that has remained the same is our mission to help children and their families in need both through service and by raising funds that go toward helping us achieve bigger goals each year. To help our mission, we encourage you to become a sponsor or donor for our signature event annually in December. If you’d like to learn more about how to get involved or contribute, reach out today.

Their mission is to empower a comprehensive community wide effort to address the issues of equity in education, social justice and health. Today, that includes addressing COVID 19.
