At Vengeance Foundation, we believe in supporting community-driven initiatives that make a real impact. This holiday season, we were proud to provide event space at Youthful Vengeance Café & Gallery for Santa’s Spirits, a fundraiser organized by Alice Narushevich, Zofeya Hacker, and Penelope Sairoglou to support the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund.
Santa’s Spirits began as a small cocktail fundraiser in 2022, when Narushevich—a former recipient of a Santa Claus Fund gift box—wanted to give back to the organization that once helped her family. After raising over $1,000 at their first event, the trio sought to expand their efforts in 2023. That’s when they reached out to Youthful Vengeance for a venue, and Vengeance Foundation was able to subsidize the rental cost, ensuring their fundraiser could take place without financial barriers.
The December 28th event featured festive cocktails, music, and a vibrant crowd of supporters, all coming together to raise funds for children in need. This year’s goal was to surpass $3,000 in ticket sales, helping the Santa Claus Fund provide holiday gift boxes for 50,000 financially vulnerable kids across the GTA.
Why This Matters
This fundraiser perfectly aligns with our mission at Vengeance Foundation—removing financial barriers to make a lasting impact. Whether through funding emerging artists or supporting community initiatives like this one, we believe in using our resources to help others create opportunities for change.
We are honored to have played a role in this event and applaud Alice, Zofeya, and Penelope for their dedication to giving back. Their efforts show that one act of kindness can inspire a ripple effect of generosity—and we’re here to help make those moments possible.
