About Christmas Cheer

This year marks some remarkable anniversaries of giving in Ottawa. This year is the 61st Anniversary of the Christmas Cheer Broadcast on 580 CFRA. It's also the 21st Anniversary of the Christmas Cheer Breakfast at the Westin. Together, this partnership has been making the holiday season a little brighter for less fortunate people. Your donations to CHEER go directly to LOCAL charities including the Ottawa Food Bank, the Christmas Exchange and the Ottawa Senators' Foundation to support their Christmas giving campaigns .

It's the official kick-off to Christmas!
