About The Santa Fund
The
Santa Fund was started 45 years ago by the publisher of the Nashua
Telegraph to give area needy children a happy holiday. Each year
since, The Santa Fund has grown due to the generous donations of
area residents who share with those less fortunate.
In
2005, hundreds of new toys, new clothing and a total of $68,031 was raised
and shared with families in our communities.
The Santa Fund Run is the kick-off of the annual fund drive. It furnishes an opportunity to not only support this worthy cause by collecting donations from others, but to participate in a fun event. Funds raised benefit The Santa Fund.
SHARE
WITH THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE BRING AN
UNWRAPPED GIFT OR TOY TO THE RACE TO START THE 2006 SANTA FUND DRIVE.
