Giving feels good.

And brothers Jagur and Jaxxon Vommaro were all smiles today at the Civic Centre as they patiently waited to present the St. Mary's French Immersion Catholic School's $300 donation to the Easter Seals Telethon presented by the Rotary Club of Sault Ste. Marie.

The donation was extra special for Jagur and Jaxxon as their older brother Hunter was the 2013 Easter Seals Telethon Ambassador.

Today until 7 p.m., callers who donate $100 or more will be entered into a draw for one of these prizes:

Those who donate between $36 and $99 will have their names entered to win a $100 gift card and a Keurig coffee machine courtesy of McDougall Energy.

More than 60 children in our community benefit each year from the annual Telethon and other locally hosted Easter Seals events, including Snowarama and the Bon Soo Ball Hockey Tournament.

Donations assist children with physical disabilities by funding mobility equipment, communication devices, Northern Health Travel Grants, and Easter Seals Kids Camps.
