Every year Draper Media works to make the holiday season brighter for Delmarva's less fortunate children with the Bless Our Children campaign.
For more than a decade, Draper Media has teamed up with local businesses and members of the community to raise money to buy Christmas presents for needy children in our area. The money raised for Bless Our Children is distributed to charitable groups across the peninsula. These charities then buy gifts for children they know are in need, making sure they have a present to open for Christmas. For the 2023 holiday season, the Bless Our Children campaign raised $338,147.
We appreciate all of the donors that stepped up to the Schell Brothers Challenge. We asked businesses, groups, and organizations to help Bless Our Children by accepting the Schell Brothers Bless Our Children Challenge of donating $1,000. As our thank you, we listed businesses, groups and organizations on the Schell Brothers Honor Roll in order of amount given in increments of $1,000. Below is the 2023 Schell Brothers Honor Roll:
