Santa and his elves need your help to bring Christmas to Ottawa's children and youth ...
And there's no better time to get started than in the summer!
Each year, each of the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa Clubhouses host holiday parties, with staff members and volunteers acting in Santa’s place to bring gifts and toys to children who may not otherwise receive any. And each year, the need to provide good cheer – and some hope – to these children grows.
This year you can help fill this need and make sure more of Ottawa’s children and youth can celebrate the joy of the season.
You can be Santa to those who need to believe the most.
About 1,000 kids from our eight Clubhouses are hoping Santa will find them this year. They've been good this year but they know that doesn't always mean they'll receive gifts.
Can you help?
We'll need about 1,000 gifts, each with a value of between $20 and $40 to make all of our Members' holiday wishes come true this year.
So why start now?
If anyone knows how important time is, it's Santa. By committing now to acting in Santa's place for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa this year, you'll avoid the last minute scramble to buy gifts. You'll be able to take advantage of off-season sales. You'll be able to help us now so once the snow flies, you can rest and relax with your family and friends.
