All the merrier: Community helps with Columbus Firemen’s Cheer Fund gift distribution
Once a holiday tradition is established, most find it hard to give it up.
That is especially true of the local firefighters and their family members who have worked hard annually for the last 90 years to administer and improve the Columbus Fireman’s Cheer Fund.
While Cheer Fund co-chairman Ben Noblitt wasn’t expecting doughnuts, orange juice, hot chocolate and coffee, somebody brought the tasty goodies anyway during Saturday’s annual Cheer Fund distribution. After all, they have long been part of the Cheer Fund tradition.
Santa Claus was not expected to make an appearance this year due to COVID-19. But as firefighters and their families arrived shortly after 7 a.m., there was the Jolly Old Elf himself (looking remarkably like Santa’s helper Ralph Childers) getting his photo taken with firefighter families. Santa is also a cherished Cheer Fund tradition.
