クラブが旗振り役となり、みんなで力を合わせて地域社会が抱える課題の解決を目指す活動『このゆびとまれっず！』。そのアクションプログラムのひとつとして、今年も「REDS Santa(レッズサンタ)」を実施した。

11月中旬、パートナー企業やRBC会員企業、行政や地域団体のみなさまへ「このゆびとーまれっ！」の号令のもと子ども食堂への寄贈物資を募集したところ、19の企業・団体が駆け寄ってくれた。

12月中旬、集まった物資を子どもたちへのプレゼント用に個分けするため、浦和レッズ後援会スチュワード(ボランティア)スタッフのみなさんとクラブスタッフ有志が集まり、およそ2時間かけて1,500人分の袋詰め作業を行った。



Afterwards, supplies for 50 facilities and Christmas presents for 1,500 children were handed over to representatives of children's cafeterias in each ward in Saitama City, who then delivered them to each child's cafeteria.



On December 21st, Redia and club staff participated in a children's cafeteria event held in Midori Ward, Saitama City.

The first place is "Manmatei."
When Redia appeared in front of the children with a bag full of Christmas presents, she was greeted with loud cheers. She played a rock-paper-scissors tournament with the children and handed out the presents.



The second place is Saitama Children's Cafe.
A distribution event was held here, where Christmas presents were handed out to children along with various ingredients, food, and lunch boxes. Many children interacted with Redia and took photos with her.



こうして4年目のREDS Santaも、無事に終えることができた。たくさんの方々に駆け寄っていただいた厚意と引き換えに、私たちはかけがえのない、たくさんの笑顔と感謝の言葉に触れることができた。
『このゆびとまれっず！』の活動を象徴するアクションプログラムとして、このREDS Santaをさらに大きく、大切に育んでいきたいと改めて実感した。

"Thank you to everyone, especially Redia, for helping us put on such a great Christmas event.
We will also be holding a children's cafeteria on Christmas Eve, the 24th, so we would like to give them a Christmas present from Urawa Reds. We will continue to hold Manmatei, cherishing the happy faces and smiles of the children."

[Kaori Homma, Director of Saitama Children's Cafeteria]
"The children's smiles were shining as they ran up to Redia, cheering. They were also thrilled with the presents they received from Reds Santa. Thank you so much for everything from planning to preparation and packaging every year!"
