As the new year opens and we settle down and reflect on another magical Christmas season, it is time to look back at the incredible impact we have made together. Each year, the members of IBRBS perform a different kind of magic—one that often happens away from the spotlight, in the quiet service of our communities.
We are proud to announce that the Santa’s Heart Program submission form is now officially open!
What is Santa’s Heart? Santa’s Heart is our way of recognizing the extraordinary charitable efforts of our members. Whether you provided pro-bono visits to families in need, supported local non-profits, or dedicated your time to regional hospital visits, we want to hear your story. In previous years, our members collectively contributed over 100,000 hours of service—a testament to the true heart of our community.
How to Submit: We invite all active members to log their charitable activities from the recent 2025 season.
Big things are happening at IBRBS! Board Elections are right around the corner and scholarship applications for the Thomas Carmody Christmas School Scholarship open in February. Not renewed yet? There is still time to renew your membership and ensure you are eligible for all three programs.
Lend a Hand – Volunteer with IBRBS: Our community thrives because of members like you. We are currently looking for passionate volunteers to help with committees, event planning, and member outreach. Whether you have a few hours a month or want to take on a leadership role, your unique talents help us grow. If you are interested in volunteering, please Volunteer today to let us know how you’d like to help!
In the Spirit of Christmas,
Membership Committee IBRBS
