The businessman has announced through a public relations firm that he intends to give away the money between Dec. 20 and 25. But first he wants to gather ideas from Portland residents about where to make the handouts.
Last year, he gave out money at the Goodwill store on Forest Avenue.
He also wants to hear from people who received money last year and what they did with it. His e-mail address is SecretSantaPortland@gmail.com
