Denny Carr's Secret Santa
At the 2009 Quilt Show, the guild supported a very special charity, Denny Carr’s Secret Santa. Denny Carr was a radio announcer with CJWW who lost a very courageous battle with cancer.
It was Denny’s wish that every child in Saskatoon would receive a gift at Christmas. His dream has come true through this non-profit organization, which is affiliated with CJWW and the Saskatoon Salvation Army. Every year, this organization collects new, unwrapped toys, non-perishable food and money donations.
You Can Help Us Help Secret Santa!
Serendipity, the non-profit arm of the guild, donated 27 quilts – one for each year our guild has been in existence. All proceeds from the auctions and draw for these quilts will be donated to Secret Santa.
- A special ceremony to unveil the 27 Serendipity quilts took place at the Thursday grand opening. One quilt was auctioned off during the evening.
- Throughout the grand opening and the two show days, there was a silent auction of 25 of these beautiful quilts.
