$33,350.

That’s how much money was raised in three hours this morning (Friday) for the North Bay Santa Fund during the KiSS 100.5 Carmine Ricciuti Christmas Special.

The event, which was filled with Christmas cheer and music, was held at Twiggs Coffee Roasters on Fraser.

The Santa Fund is providing baskets, with food and gifts, to over 700 families so they can have a good Christmas.

Volunteers can help pack the baskets December 22nd at 5pm at Fort Chippewa Barracks and help deliver them the next morning, starting at 10 o’clock.

This year’s Carmine Ricciuti Christmas Special was broadcast live on KiSS 100.5 and TV Cogeco North Bay, with Canadore College students involved too.
