For a Good Claus: SantaCon Beats Last Year's Donation Target

Seems like Santa was good to SantaCon, that merry event where Beijingers don red robes and white beards and frolic about the city for 12 straight hours. Money raised from Saturday's event (through the purchase of Santa suits and donations) totalled RMB 3,450, almost 50 percent more than what was raised last year. The money is being donated to Bethel China and the children of  San Dionsio, Iloilo, Philippines.
