Operation Scrooge: Turning Humbugs into Hope

This holiday season, we’re coming together to make sure no family along the Hood Canal goes without Christmas.

Operation Scrooge is a 24-hour live telethon — a full day and night of music, generosity, and heart — where local artists donate their time and talent to raise funds and gifts for families who need a little extra help this year.

Our mission is simple:

To provide complete Christmas experiences for families — including groceries for dinner, Christmas morning breakfast, and meaningful gifts for parents and kids alike.

But more than that, we want to deliver hope.

Because Christmas isn’t about what’s under the tree — it’s about reminding people that their community sees them, values them, and stands beside them.

About the Telethon

On December 13–14, 2025, we’ll go live for 24 straight hours of local music, stories, and holiday spirit.

12 bands + 12 solo artists will perform back-to-back, each donating their time and talent.

The entire event will be streamed online, with live hosts, guests, and updates as donations come in.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward helping families along the Hood Canal celebrate Christmas with dignity and joy.

This is a completely grassroots effort — built by volunteers, powered by local musicians, and supported by our community.

Where Your Donations Go

Your contribution helps us:

Purchase groceries and essentials for Christmas dinners and breakfasts

☕ Supply snacks, coffee, and meals for the artists, volunteers, and crew working the full 24 hours

Cover basic production needs — streaming, lighting, and setup costs

Support local families directly, ensuring every dollar helps where it’s needed most

No one involved — not even the performers — is being paid.

Every act is donating their time and talent to help make this event possible.

We just want to keep everyone fueled, warm, and cared for while we bring this marathon of kindness to life.

❤️ A Final Word

Operation Scrooge started as a simple idea — to help a few families feel the warmth of Christmas again.

But with your help, it’s becoming something much bigger: a movement of local people lifting each other up through music, generosity, and community.

Together, we’re turning humbugs into hope — one song, one meal, one family at a time.
