4,372, that is the total number of gifts that were distributed across Canada by the Little Elves at the end of our 2025 campaign. This is a smaller number than in the last 2 years. It is because, due to the general increase in costs and its ability to raise funds, the Foundation had to moderate its ambitions.
872 children and 3,500 adults, directly or indirectly affected by HIV/AIDS, thus saw their Holidays brightened thanks to the contributions of dozens of volunteers and donors.
Following our traditional wrapping weekend, held on December 5 and 6, 2025, at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, 197 boxes were shipped from coast to coast thanks to the attentive care of GLS Canada and Groupe Robert. A big thank you to these three indispensable partners!
It is essential to thank our other partners, Paramount Paper Ltd. (donor of the shipping boxes), Dialog Insight (email sending platform), and, above all, the wonderful Marché des Saveurs du Québec which hosts our sweet & spicy nut sale booth every autumn.

Here are some heartfelt thanks that should be shared with all those who made the distribution possible:
Slide 6 - CASEY
I want to confirm that we have received the 150 gifts that you have generously organized and so kindly packaged for Casey House patients. [...]
These will be given to our patients throughout our holiday programming, and I know that they will add some much needed joy to their lives. The bells and ribbons on the wrapping are such a kind and spirited touch.
On behalf of the entire team at Casey House, our patients, and those who care for them, we are so grateful for your generous support, this year and the many years that you have done this.

Slide 5 - PASAN
It always brings a smile to staff as clients open their gifts and the excitement on their faces. Having something special to unwrap and the numerous times we hear, 'this is exactly what I want/need.' All gifts provided were appreciated, the lovely scarves, warm socks, gloves and hats, sweet treats, towels, throws and gift cards were a delight to all. Once again Little Elves gave our clients that gift we would never be able to afford. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
