National Volunteer Week:  April 14 – 20th 2024

The volunteers at CFAX Santas Anonymous are the driving force behind our Society. Every year, thousands of children and youth across the Capital Regional District receive heartwarming gifts during the holiday season, thanks to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers. Whether it's engaging with parents to learn about their child's wishes, assisting donors in selecting the perfect gift, tenderly packing each present, or coordinating pickup and delivery, our volunteers pour their hearts into every single hamper, ensuring that each child feels truly cared for.

In 2014, Al Ferraby embarked on a mission to raise funds through his participation in the Oak Bay Half Marathon. For each kilometer he ran, he sought pledges of $1.00 per km he ran. Over the span of a decade, Al's "21 for 21km" initiative has garnered an impressive $290,000.00 in support of CFAX Santas Anonymous programs.

Year after year, the community rallies behind Al, contributing anywhere from $1.00 to $100.00 per kilometer, demonstrating unwavering support for his favorite charity CFAX Santas Anonymous. Notably, Proline Management has stood as a steadfast partner since Al's inaugural runs in 2009, exemplifying commitment to local children and youth.
