The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation will donate part of the proceeds of their famed 50/50 raffle to 630 CHED Santas Anonymous from Dec. 9 to 15.

Thursday, during the annual radiothon Santas Days, Edmontonians showed up for kids around Edmonton and donated close to $295,000 in toys and cash to 630 CHED Santas Anonymous.

With toy bundle signups up 43 per cent, donations are a much needed cash injection to ensure each child wakes up with presents under the tree on Christmas, said executive director Angel Benedict.
