More than 130 rain-soaked participants took part in the Santa Shuffle fundraiser, a 5K fun run and 1K "Elf Walk" for the Salvation Army's Willows Family Life Centre on Saturday morning, Dec. 7 at Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary School in 91Ô­´´ City.

"We provide holistic care to the families that are living in the 91Ô­´´ community," said Andrea Petkau, integrated mission supervisor at the centre, as participants waited for the signal to start.

"We had about 125 people register for us this year [and] we've had at least a dozen walk-ins for registration this morning," Petkau estimated.

Third annual Santa Shuffle fundraiser for Salvation Army programs was held Saturday morning at Blacklock school.

Every participant received a medal with their race kit.

Santa Shuffle fundraisers are held in different communities across the country on the same day, with all the money staying in the community where it was raised to fund local Salvation Army community family service programs.
