Bruce and Michele Gitt’s Annual Campaign
- $625 raised for Little St. Nick $3,000 Goal
About Bruce and Michele Gitt’s Annual Campaign
The Little Saint Nick Foundation is a cause very dear to our hearts. Founded by Ray Mohler Jr. on a local level at the age of 6, it has grown into a national Charity over the last 16 years. The charity has expanded from helping to grant wishes for sick and disabled children to a charity where children help children. This is where we need your help.
Ray Jr. has involved children and young adults from the community to make and distribute gift bags to scared children being admitted into the hospital. These bags include a toy, coloring book, crayons, etc., things to help preoccupy them in a terrifying situation. In addition, gift bags are made and distributed to the parents with simple items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a cell phone charger-basic necessities to allow them to focus on the most important thing… the health of their children
To further the charities goals, Amazon has partnered with Little Saint Nick through their smiles program. For every Amazon purchase made, a portion goes to Saint Nick.
As difficult as these times are, we would ask if you could donate anything to help this organization continue to grow. Whether it is a donation for our gift bags, a dollar amount, or simply adding the smile program to your Amazon account, every little thing helps. We thank you in advance for your generosity.

About the Little Saint Nick Foundation
The Little Saint Nick Foundation (LSNF), a registered 501C3 non-profit organization, has the mission of “Kids Inspiring and Helping Kids”. This mission is to not only help kids and families in need who are ill, but to inspire kids and young adults to give back to those kids in need. LSNF has developed many anxiety relief programs that include an emergency department gift bag program, family care package program, hospital toy give-away parties, and wish granting, all centered upon improving the lives of sick kids and their families.
Check out our website: littlestnick.org. LSNF was founded by Raymond Mohler Jr. at the age of six in 2004. Ray had suffered from a rare childhood hip disorder but was fortunate enough not to have any life-threatening illnesses and fully recovered. Ray decided that he needed to give back to the kids who he had left behind at the hospital, and his goal was to ease the anxiety and fear of those children in need.
For the past 16 years, Ray and LSNF has helped over one million kids in need. Check out Ray ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange last year and other videos. We are currently based in New York and Florida, as we are expanding our mission across the country by opening up chapters and student organizations at universities.
