Charity: Siloam Mission
How they’re sharing the Christmas spirit:
Homegrown YouTube sensation Sean Quigley will be putting his musical talents to work during his performance from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. today at the downtown Bay on 450 Portage Ave. His goal: to collect mittens for the city’s homeless. The Bay will kick-start the charitable initiative by donating 240 red Canadian Olympic mitts to Siloam Mission — the very same style Quigley is seen wearing in his music video. The 17-year-old shot to fame when his rendition of The Little Drummer Boy went viral online. To date, the video featuring Quigley rocking out to the Christmas classic has had over 1.3 million hits.
How you can help spread the Christmas spirit:
Help spread the warmth by donating a pair of mittens to Siloam Mission. You can pick up two pairs of the Bay’s trademark mitts for $15 until Dec. 26 and are encouraged to donate the second pair to those in need.
His Christmas wish:
The generous musician is donating all of the proceeds of his single to Siloam Mission. “My goal is to just help people out. Giving away the mitts is just a small bit of what I can do.
“I don’t need the extra cash, I don’t need a pair of gloves but some people do. I think that it’s time for all of us to step up and make a difference, especially at Christmas,” said Quigley. “It’s cold out and not having a pair of mitts sucks and if going to the Bay and playing songs for a while helps out, then that’s a no-brainer.”
