Many thanks to the 2,866 people who have donated to this year’s Times Colonist Christmas Fund campaign. I wish I could thank every one of you for your commitment to making life better for everyone in our community.
As we have said before, the need this year is high, perhaps higher than ever before in the history of this fund. Last week, I wrote about Don Hauser, who raised $193.35 for the fund by busking with his digital saxophone for 90 minutes in Sidney. There is more to the story. After a few years they branched out to include pub crawls, with the hope of receiving free refreshments. About 25 years ago, Hauser and Kryn Zedel formed what became known as Santa’s Saxes, which evolved into a saxophone quintet with a guitarist as well.
We use the money we collect to support organizations that help to feed and support people in need, especially at Christmas but as needed during the rest of the year. Food is a high priority for us this year, given the sharp increases in costs in recent months.
