45 years that have changed lives, one Christmas present at a time!

It all happened 50 years ago when Victorian businesswoman Marilyn Kan, her husband Byrne, and their two children opened a home and started Santa Anonymous to help local children in need. It started with

Five years later, when Marilyn realized her home wasn’t meeting her long-term needs, she reached out to Mel Cooper, the former owner of CFAX 1070 radio.

Mel took the reins and registered it as a charity, and the CFAX Santas Anonymous Society was born.

Forty-five years later, CFAX Santas Anonymous is run by a 14-member board of directors, with Mel Cooper continuing as chairman emeritus.

Christine Hewitt of CFAX 1070 Radio said: “And as her one of Victoria’s longest-running children’s charities, CFAX Santas Anonymous has been needed, donated and volunteered by local families over the years. It’s a tradition.”

Mel Cooper and Marilyn Kang kick off Miracle on Broad Street 2018.

Another Victorian Christmas tradition is Miracles on Broad Street, a 13-hour radiothon taking place this Friday, December 9th from 5am to 6pm.

“Miracle on Broad Street is a signature event,” says Hewitt. “Now is the time for communities to come together to enjoy great local entertainment and hear stories from donors and past winners (now including the donors themselves).

“CFAX Santas Anonymous has engaged generations of people and has been serving their communities for over 40 years. It really came full circle!”

how they help

Every family supported by CFAX Santas Anonymous will receive a basket of holiday food, a grocery gift card for fresh produce, and gifts for children 17 and under.

Your donation will also continue to support local children throughout the year through our More for the Kids program, providing much-needed funding for projects and programs that help children and young people. Financial grants also address needs in five funding areas: hunger, education, entertainment, mental health and the greater good (families in crisis).
