Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Since its inception, by this publication in 1934, the Suffolk Cheer Fund sets out to bring Christmas joy to those less fortunate every year. As we celebrate the fund’s 90th year, we continue to tell the story of how the Cheer Fund left lasting impressions on the many people who have donated time and money to make the fund the success it is today. 

Though we enjoy those stories and watching the pride beam from those who are telling them, this year, we want to find some people who have benefited from the generosity of the many donors over the years.

While those stories are difficult for people to tell, they all serve as a reminder of how charities like the Cheer Fund impact lives positively.

If you know someone who has been a recipient of the Suffolk Cheer Fund efforts, we want to hear from you. Email us at news@suffolknewsherald.com and we will get in touch with you. 

Anyone interested in donating to the Cheer Fund can do so by bringing a check to the Suffolk News-Herald office at 110 Finney Ave. (behind the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts) or sending your check to;
