ADVERTISER CHRISTMAS FUND
Christmas fund tops $100,000

Advertiser staff

Hawai'i residents continue to donate generously to The Advertiser Christmas Fund, which passed the $100,000 mark this week. The Advertiser's anonymous Santa alone gave more than $21,000 to the fund in 2002.

All the money collected goes to Helping Hands Hawai'i, which works with more than 170 agencies helping the needy across Hawai'i with goods and services.

Our generous anonymous Santa has matched the first $25 of each donation to the Christmas Fund for more than 10 years.

In addition, this year the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation has pledged to match and double cash donations to The Christmas Fund. That money has not yet been added to the total collected for the Christmas Fund. The Weinberg Foundation will double monetary donations to The Advertiser's Fund and KITV's "Adopt a Family" Program.
