RISC Takers will use the funds raised for children related organizations and projects on the island like Adopt an Art Child Kids program by artist Tes Verheij, Save Haven under the Direction of Vanessa Fraser, Excellence Learning Academy and New Start Foundation.
Later a Christmas party was organized by RISC Takers Soccer Moms support group for all their hard effort the players put forth running laps. Santa did not come empty handed. He passed out blue goody-bags and matching blue Santa hats.
