Help Others Celebrate the Holidays with ÎçÒ¹av Santas
The annual ÎçÒ¹av Santas campaign is officially underway. ÎçÒ¹av 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 ÎçÒ¹avdent donations, ÎçÒ¹av Santas provides financial assistance and gifts to those admirable ÎçÒ¹avdents who are balancing school, work, parenting, and often other challenges.
Last year, ÎçÒ¹av Santas supported 47 children in 24 families.
ÎçÒ¹av Santas has become known as a way for our ÎçÒ¹av community to demonstrate kindness and generosity. We hope we can count on you to make the holidays brighter for these remarkable ÎçÒ¹avdents and their families.
Donations will be accepted until December 2nd. One hundred percent of your donation will go to our ÎçÒ¹av 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 ÎçÒ¹avdent families. Take an ornament, buy the present, and place it, together with the ornament, back under the tree by December 4th.
ÎçÒ¹av Santas thanks you for your support. Happy Holidays!
