The S’Aints 2020 Sleighing Hunger concert raised $80,000 from ticket sales, CD sales, music downloads, and various local sponsors’ contributions.
The funds were presented to the Windsor Essex Food Bank Association ($50,500), Chatham’s Outreach for Hunger ($25,000) and the two St. Clair College student food banks Student Representative Council-Windsor ($3,000) Thames Students Incorporated-Chatham ($1,500).
“The fabled and long-standing generosity of our community may not surprise me much any longer, but its’ phenomenal degree certainly did astound me this year,” said St. Clair College President Patti France. “To set a fundraising record amid a pandemic with a concert that, by necessity, had to be staged remotely is the most heart-warming ending imaginable for this COVID-era Christmas story.”
