The Spirit Of ChristmasCheer Fund

Christmas Cheer Fund300 North Washington Avenue Mason City, IA 50401

“God bless the Cheer Fund,” one donor wrote in a note that came along with their donation. “You bring happiness to so many needy people.”

Letter writer is happy to give

In 1927 Lee Loomis, publisher of the Globe-Gazette founded the Christmas Cheer Fund, and each year thereafter it has continued to help brighten the holidays for many North Iowa residents due to your generosity. Every donation counts. Regardless of the size of your gift, anything will be greatly appreciated.

Cheer Fund donations or referrals may be made to: Christmas Cheer Fund, Globe-Gazette, P.O. Box 271, Mason City, IA 50402-0271. Donations may also be taken to the Globe-Gazette office, 300 North Washington Ave., Mason City, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Cheer Fund requests may also be made at the Globe-Gazette office. Look for your Cheer Fund envelope in tomorrow’s paper.

Since 1927 we have received thousands of

letters similar to the ones above, which continue to reinforce the importance and true meaning of the Christmas Cheer Fund.

Letters from children, adults and letters

received anonymously, all asking for a little

support during the holiday season.

The 2010 Cheer Fund goal is $110,000. “ These people are not asking for elaborate gifts. They just want a little extra money to help buy food and other necessities,” said Globe-Gazette Publisher Howard Query. “This Fund is one way people can spread holiday joy.”
