Events

Our calendar of events lists all of the important upcoming dates at Santa's Depot as well as toy or fundraising events hosted by groups and businesses to fulfill our mission to deliver the "Spirit of Christmas" to less fortunate kids in Edmonton.

Plan a Fundraiser!

Fundraising events are a great way to support 880 CHED Santas Anonymous. It is a fantastic opportunity for you and/or your organization to get creative and have fun while making an important and valuable contribution. These fundraisers are organized by individuals, groups, or businesses with minimal support from 880 CHED Santas Anonymous.

Christmas Comes Early!

Time: 1:05 pm - 5:00 pm

We’re decking the (stadium) halls for a mash-up of holiday cheer and Fan Appreciation Day! Bring a toy or donation for Santas Anonymous and you could unwrap an early gift yourself… like a brand new e-bike!

And yes, the Grinch is back, he’s still grumpy—and we’re still obsessed. After the game, we’re throwing our final party of the season with summertime Santa, slip ’n slides, balloon rides, and our four-legged friends from the Barking Bleachers!
