Secret Santa Foundation executive director Nicole Semko said a lot of the credit goes to local volunteers.
“We have a tremendous volunteer base from the Saskatoon Fire Department,” Semko said.
“Of course, the caroling firefighters were out this past Friday, caroling throughout the city raising money for the foundation. They raised a record $36,000 in 18 hours of caroling.”
