Al’s $21 for 21km kicked off in 2014 when listeners of the CFAX 1070 Morning Show were invited to support an exciting challenge—$1 for every kilometer run in the Oak Bay Half Marathon. The goal? To raise funds for CFAX Santas Anonymous Society, a charity dedicated to helping local kids in need.

Since then, Al’s $21 for 21km has raised over $330,500 through 10 successful half marathons, and we’re gearing up for the 11th! The incredible support from our community has been the driving force behind this initiative, showing the power of coming together to give back.

It’s more than just a run—it’s about making a real impact. The funds raised help provide mental health support, hunger relief, education, and life-changing summer experiences for children in our community.

The volunteers of CFAX Santas Anonymous Society generously dedicate thousands of hours each year during the holiday season, while also actively engaging in a myriad of community-driven endeavors throughout the entire year.

Additionally, CFAX Santas Anonymous receives vital support from donors who contribute financially and through "in-kind" donations. Together, volunteers and donors form the backbone of our community, enabling opportunities for local youth.

This bursary program stands as a testament to our deep appreciation and recognition of those who tirelessly serve and support the Greater Victoria community.
