All area community schools and businesses and their efforts to support the Santa Fund.
If not for all of the people represented on this list, plus the hundreds of unseen volunteers and those who donated time, money and the gift of sharing, the 78th Annual Santa Fund would not have reached our goal, raising over $175,000, packing over 400 baskets, serving hundreds of families and over 1000 children.
Thank you for your donation!
Co-chairs: Geoff Richardson & Tracy Sloan Finance: Jen Stickle
Santa Fund Office Staff: Lana Mitchell, Betty McDonald, Christine Harmer, André-Philippe Rose
A special thank you to Warrant Officer (RET) John Martin –
