Following the death of Brooke Leppert in July 2024, his family and friends wanted to do something in an effort to keep his memory alive. This was the start of the Secret Santa Society, a nonprofit organization that has a mission of maintaining the spirit of Christmas all year long by spreading love and joy in the community.
The goal of this group is to be a helping hand in the community, just as Brooke was to many organizations and people. Brooke loved the community and felt strongly about the importance of helping those in need. His passion was for children and animals, but he would not hesitate to help anyone in any way he could.
