Rotary Children’s Christmas Celebration
The Rotary Children’s Christmas Celebration was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together with heart, generosity, and purpose.

Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and friends of Rotary, more than 650 inner-city children experienced a day filled with warmth, good food, laughter, entertainment, and the unmistakable joy of the holiday season.
A very special thank you goes to our Honourary Rotarian, Santa Claus, whose visit brought wide-eyed excitement and unforgettable memories to children and families alike.
This event is 100% donation-funded. Every dollar raised goes directly toward covering the cost of food, gifts, books, entertainment, and the delivery of the day. Donations are still welcome, and continued support helps ensure we can sustain and grow this celebration for years to come.

This celebration reflects the very best of Hamilton. It is proof that when businesses, volunteers, and neighbours come together, we can create meaningful moments and lasting memories for children who need them most.
Thank you for helping the Rotary Club of Hamilton deliver hope, dignity, and joy this holiday season. Together, we truly lived the spirit of Service Above Self.
