Register for #nzsecretsanta 2015 and support the NZ Red Cross

Registrations for New Zealand Post’s popular online Christmas game #nzsecretsanta will open on Tuesday 10 November, with donations for 2015 dedicated to refugee families through the New Zealand Red Cross.

Last year, 2619 Kiwis signed up to play #nzsecretsanta on Twitter, up from 1500 in 2013.

New Zealand Post Sponsorship spokesperson Charles Ropitini said the online version of the popular Christmas game, led by the community and coordinated by New Zealand Post, has grown from strength to strength.

“Secret Santa, known as #nzsecretsanta on Twitter, is about spreading holiday cheer and putting New Zealand Post’s extensive network to a charitable use at Christmas time,” Charles Ropitini said.

The charity component of the game is as important to the online #nzsecretsanta community as it is to New Zealand Post. Last year the community donated around 200 gifts to the Christchurch City Mission.

“This year, we are pleased to support refugee families through the New Zealand Red Cross by offering our players the option to send an additional gift to Santa’s storehouse.

“2015 marks 100 years of humanitarian work for the New Zealand Red Cross. It’s a big milestone and one New Zealand Post wanted to mark with a charitable contribution this holiday season.

“Registrations close on Tuesday 24 November this year and we are again relying on our army of Twitter elves to spread the word to get as many players in on the fun as possible,” Charles Ropitini said.
