With a few days to go and some cheques still in the mail, your sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Christmas Fund has reached $1,157,000, money that will be used to help the less fortunate get through these tough times.
We will continue to take donations online and by phone until Dec. 31, and will open envelopes as they come in.
As the 2020 campaign winds down, a final match challenge from a true friend of the fund, Andrew Beckerman: If one person who has not taken part in a challenge this year will donate $500, Beckerman will match it.
Thanks, everyone, for your tremendous support.
