The CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish is the premier charity initiative of Bell Media, depending on the support of listeners, viewers, sponsors, and kind-hearted community members to provide a joyful Christmas for over 250,000 individuals (children and families). It ranks among the largest toy distributors in the Greater Toronto Area, working in partnership with numerous social service organizations.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower grassroots charities throughout the GTA and beyond to make meaningful contributions to families in need, delivering much-needed support during the holiday season.

With YOUR help we realize our vision:

A community where families across the GTA and beyond experience the joy of the holidays regardless of their financial circumstances, turning holiday time into a celebration for those who give and those who receive.

CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish supports families with life-threatening illnesses with the Pediatric Christmas Hamper Program.

"The assistance from CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish has been invaluable; without it, we would have had to turn away children seeking the Pediatric Christmas Hamper. This would have meant that many would wake up to an empty tree, feeling as though Santa had overlooked them during their fight against cancer and other serious illnesses. We are deeply grateful to CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish and all the supporters of this program for their incredible generosity and dedication. Thank you!"

Volunteers Get Stuff Done!

“The staff at the warehouse are very friendly, organized and provide as much work as they can on any given day. It is always very satisfying to volunteer for such a good cause. I look forward to bringing a team each year.”
