FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Help put smiles on the faces of children in your community this holiday season!
Peterborough, ON – (Nov 27, 2025) The Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Foundation, in conjunction with the Central Lakes Association of REALTORS® (CLAR), East Peterborough Lions Club, and media partners 101.5 The Wolf, Global Peterborough and 100.5 Fresh Radio are excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Santa’s Sleigh Program on Thursday, November 27th at 3:00 PM. The Sleigh will be open at Walmart on Chemong Road, until Monday December 8th at 1:00pm.
For the past 36 years, the Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Foundation Santa’s Sleigh Program has helped make the holidays brighter for local children and youth who are involved with the Kawartha- Haliburton Children’s Aid Society.
“We are inviting the community to choose a child’s gift suggestion from our tree at Walmart, then shop for that gift in order to fulfill the child’s holiday wish” says Carrie Truman, Executive Director of the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Foundation. “The gifts will go directly to children in our community, so that together we can put smiles on the faces of local children this holiday season.”
We are accepting donations of physical gifts, gift cards, and monetary donations. Monetary donations will be used to purchase gifts and gift cards for children and youth who are involved with the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society. The most important message we can give local at-risk children and their families is one of hope. Thank you to the generous donors in our community for making it possible year-after-year, for local children to receive a special holiday gift.
