Who are the Charleston Elves
We are a group of volunteers within the Charleston community who are committed to giving needy children a special Christmas.
How do I sponsor a child and become a Charleston Elf?
Browse our list of deserving kids and choose the child you want to sponsor. Provide the required information and then follow the steps required to sponsor a child. Learn more about how it works.
What are an Elf's responsibilities?
Sponsor a child's Christmas and attend the gift wrapping party or drop the unwrapped gifts off at one of the designated drop-off locations.
What is Courageous Kidz?
Courageous Kidz is a community that strives to be a Safe Haven for Kids with Cancer. We understand that cancer is so much more than a disease. We believe that the child has the disease, the family has the cancer. The doctors are there to treat the disease. We're here to treat everything else. At Courageous Kidz, our children find a family where everyone understands their problems, where no one ask questions, where they can be wonderfully normal. For more information, visit courageouskidz.org.
How are the children selected for sponsorship?
The children are cancer patients or sibilings of cancer patients and are part of the Courageous Kidz organization. The children were also selected because of their family financial situation.

After the gift wrapping party, a few volunteers will deliver the gifts to the Courageous Kidz. if you are interested in joining us for the delivery of gifts, please email Greg Pressley (greg.pressley@argano.com)
