Twelve Days of Christmas, Inc.

The Twelve Days of Christmas, Inc. celebrates more than 20 years as a volunteer service organization committed to keeping the spirit of the holidays for less fortunate families. Beyond the holiday season, the organization has expanded to serve our communities throughout the year by encouraging and ensuring a successful return to school to students around the country by providing uniforms, backpacks and grade appropriate school supplies. This outstanding service organization is composed entirely of volunteers currently consisting of six chapters located in Houston, TX, Oakland, CA, Washington, DC, New York, NY, Atlanta, GA and the newest chapter in Detroit, MI, which was established in 2014. The legacy of “parties with a purpose” was founded in 1999 by Gayla Gardner and Donya Gardner of the Houston Chapter. The organization continues to grow and fulfill its mission of sharing our blessings. The members of the Twelve Days of Christmas, Inc. are diverse distinguished volunteers who are individual achievers. They are community, business and civic leaders, mentors, activists, and role models with significant backgrounds in legal, academia, healthcare, media / marketing and public relations, government, the arts and business. They are engaged within and outside the organization to maximize their effort to enrich the lives of others. Proceeds from our annual fundraiser and other donations directly serve the families in need. This organization has provided over 6,000 new toys under Christmas trees, over 1600 Christmas and Easter meals, and over 1,000 children with backpack, school supplies and uniforms. Twelve Days of Christmas, Inc. works closely with sponsors and supporters. We are committed to remembering the true spirit of Christmas throughout the year, and making a difference with the gift of giving. Our organization’s energy highly impacts lives in the communities served.
