The Chatham-Kent Professional Firefighters Association (CKPFFA) raised almost $3,400 for this year’s Chatham-Kent Children’s Services Christmas Project.

The CKPFFA would like to thank Chatham-Kent residents for their generous donation of just over $1,900 which was collected during the Chatham and Wallaceburg Santa Claus parades.

Firefighters also raised $1,470 of their own during an internal platoon vs platoon competition for donations.

“We love supporting our community,” says CKPFFA Treasurer, Brent Case. “Nothing is better than buying toys for kids during the holidays.”

The CKCS Christmas Project is aimed at children up to 18 years of age. $100 is spend on each child, $50 on clothing and $50 on items off their wish list.
