Help Others Celebrate the Holidays with Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas

November 24, 2023

The annual Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas campaign is officially underway. Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas is a program for St. Thomas University students who are parents with children (16 and under) who will experience financial need during Christmas and the holidays.

 

Through the support of faculty, staff, and Âé¶¹ÉçÇødent donations, Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas provides financial assistance and gifts to those admirable Âé¶¹ÉçÇødents who are balancing school, work, parenting, and often other challenges.

 

Last year, Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas supported 47 children in 24 families.

 

Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas has become known as a way for our Âé¶¹ÉçÇø community to demonstrate kindness and generosity. We hope we can count on you to make the holidays brighter for these remarkable Âé¶¹ÉçÇødents and their families.

 

Donations will be accepted until December 2nd. One hundred percent of your donation will go to our Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas families, and this gift is eligible for a charitable receipt for tax purposes.

 

Here's how to make a gift:

 

  • Donate through our online donation page, www.stu.ca/stusantas.
  • Donations will be accepted at the Advancement Office, 4th floor, McCain Hall.
  • Jesse Tree gift option: Check out our Christmas Tree outside the Chapel in Holy Cross House. Ornaments are available, indicating gifts requested by Âé¶¹ÉçÇødent families. Take an ornament, buy the present, and place it, together with the ornament, back under the tree by December 4th.

Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Santas thanks you for your support. Happy Holidays!
