For more than 45 years, Christmas Connection has been dedicated to fulfilling the wishes and basic needs of vulnerable families from all religions, races, and ethnic backgrounds throughout the Big Bend area. During Christmas 2024, thousands of children and their families were supported thanks to the hard work of devoted volunteers and the generous contributions from people across the region.
The massive amount of work that goes into planning, communicating, coordinating, and operating Tallahassee’s Christmas Connection requires a level of devotion and vigilance characteristic of any highly professional organization. In this case, it is largely the many volunteers who make it happen. And, like all organizations of this caliber, it requires skillful, devoted leadership. That would be Christmas Connection Coordinator Pattie Malarney.
Pattie will talk with Brien about the many volunteers, professional social workers, and key supporters who work behind the scenes throughout the year to accomplish this enormous task that rivals a military operation in scope. Focusing on this year’s opportunities to give generously and volunteer, Pattie will underscore the value of helping to bring the joy of Christmas a little closer to our children and families in need.

The work of Capstan Marketing’s Help Christmas Connection campaign began in 2010 as a way of promoting this beloved charity and encouraging all of us to give generously. As a marketing campaign, it relies on local business sponsors to fund the work.
From an earlier conversation, Rapid Press owner Lourdes Madsen will talk with Brien about her love for children and why her company has chosen to be a sponsor for many years.
