The Santas Anonymous program was co-ordinated by Gary Draeger of 630 CHED for many years. Gary was the “Head Elf” on the campaign and his true spirit and dedication to the program is highly appreciated by the entire Forbes Family. Thousands and thousands of families over these many years owe their thanks to this wonderful man. Sadly Gary Dreaeger passed away in May of 2005.
