Santa’s Got Backup: Rotary Club of Hamilton Steps in to Save Christmas!

The Rotary Club of Hamilton is thrilled to announce the official kick-off of the Rotary Children’s Fund, the Christmas Tree of Hope, and Operation Santa Claus! Join us at noon hour on Tuesday, November 26, at McMaster Innovation Park (off Aberdeen Road) for a heartwarming start to the holiday season.

This marks a special milestone as the Rotary Club proudly takes over these cherished traditions in partnership with Y108, Energy 95.3, and Corus Entertainment. We are committed to continuing the legacy of collecting donations, unwrapped toys, and spreading joy to children across our community—with 100% of the proceeds going directly to those in need.

Our festive mission doesn’t stop there! We’re partnering with the Hamilton Firefighters Hall, local businesses, and organizations like Hamilton Cemeteries to collect and distribute unwrapped toys. Special thanks to McMaster Innovation Park, which will serve as our North Pole storage hub to make sure every toy finds its way to the right little hands.

Can’t make it to the kickoff? You can still be part of this magical season by visiting ChildrensFund.ca to donate, volunteer, or find out how to drop off unwrapped toys.

Together, let’s make this holiday season a time of giving, caring, and community spirit. See you at McMaster Innovation Park, or online at ChildrensFund.ca!
