​​FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT

DONNA  ANTHONY

Founder, Santa Cop & Heroes
​
Before there was a program, there was a decision:
Our Mat-Su seniors would not be forgotten.
In 2005, Donna Anthony helped begin what became Santa Cop & Heroes, caring for Mat-Su Valley seniors who might otherwise spend Christmas alone.
What began with gifts and companionship grew into a year-round safety net, helping seniors with heating fuel, utilities, snow removal, home repairs, transportation, emergency needs, and more. Donna built partnerships around one central belief: seniors deserve to be seen, supported, and treated with dignity.
​Today, that heart continues through Christmas Wishlist for Isolated Seniors and iAMSOMEBODY Seniors.

AMBERLY BREJA

Founder, Santa Cop & Heroes
​
A legacy continues because someone is willing to carry it forward. 
When Amberly Breja stepped into leadership of Santa Cop & Heroes, she carried forward a legacy of caring for isolated seniors while helping prepare it for a new chapter.
As Director of iAMSOMEBODY, Amberly strengthened the connection between practical care, community partnership, and meaningful relationship while helping the work grow into today’s Christmas Wishlist for Isolated Seniors and iAMSOMEBODY Seniors.
Amberly, recognized something worth preserving and faithfully carried it forward.​​
