A message from organizer Janice Harvey (Dawson Scholar in Residence, History):
"Batshaw's Holiday Gift Drive collected presents for more than 2,000 children and teens this year. I wanted to thank the Dawson community for their generous and continued support of this effort to ensure children in care have something to make their holiday a little bit more enjoyable.
This year Dawson covered more than 74 children, among them a number of newborns and infants, youngsters needing winter clothes and others requesting toys instead, a number of teens, and, importantly, ten 17-year-olds who will leave the Youth Protection system at some point this year."
