TheStar.com | Ideas | More than a century of good deeds: "Got a happy ending? The Star has hundreds of them. Since its first edition hit the streets 115 years ago, the paper has fought to find a silver lining behind even the darkest thundercloud. Front and centre have always been the Fresh Air Fund, set up in 1901, during the worst heatwave on record, to send inner-city kids to summer camp; and the Santa Claus Fund, established five years later to bring Christmas cheer to needy families. Both funds are still going strong, still filling a deeply felt need."
