A Long Tradition of Giving

The Santa Fund was started 48 years ago by the publisher of the Nashua Telegraph to give area needy children a happy holiday. Each year since, The Santa Fund has gathered generous donations from area residents who share with those less fortunate. The Salvation Army and Nashua Pastoral Care Center assist the Telegraph in the distribution of these donations.

In 2008, hundreds of new toys, new clothing and a record total of $106,657 was raised and shared with families in our communities.

2009 Santa Fund Run

The 33rd Annual Santa Fund Run was held on Saturday, October 31, 2009 at Nashua High School South.  Over 400 runners and walkers participated raising over $8,000 in registrations, donations and new toys for the Santa Fund gift drive! The 2009 race was the first year runners could choose to run a 5k or 10k race. The annual benefit race gave participants an opportunity to not only support this worthy cause by collecting donations from others, but to participate in a fun event. All funds raised from the annual Santa Fund Race benefit The Santa Fund.
