Since 1986, the Santa Claus Lane Parade has been a keystone event in the Olean community.
Each November, thousands flock to downtown Olean to watch Santa – riding atop a fire engine – light the tree that now sits in the roundabout at the intersection of North Union Street and West State Street.
With a little help from the community, the North end of Olean could have a tree of its own.
In an effort to enhance the holiday ambiance and promote togetherness in the community, the Higgins Memorial Golf Tournament Fund will match up to $3,000 in donations to the Santa Claus Lane Parade Fund to install a new Christmas tree at the intersection of Main Street and the North Union Street Extension, which will come at a total cost of about $6,000.
This initiative aims to encourage local businesses, residents, and supporters to contribute towards the beautification of the city and the creation of cherished memories for years to come.
For the Higgins Memorial Golf Tournament committee, this matching grant will be the latest in a long list of grants to charitable causes in the greater Olean community. Since 2012, the Higgins Memorial Golf Tournament Fund at CRCF has made possible over $71,000 in grants to support community nonprofits and charitable activities.
