When Hinitt 's Christmas displays ended in 2006 due to knee surgery and diabetes, he said, "What I feel bad about is that (the organizations) won't have that money this year. The animals need that. They need somebody to fend for them." At his peak, his donations came to $12,000 for one year.

Under the lights, a magical transfomation occured keeping the audience spell bound as the theatrical performance wound its charm around them. Not ony did the drama students at ABCI benefit from Castle theatre, but it was the inaugural venue for the Saskatoon Summer Players and their first performance Oliver!.
