Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!

November 9, 2010

We survived the ghosts and goblins of Halloween and now it's a little over two weeks away until Thanksgiving.  I'm not a turkey kind of gal, pass me Italian instead, but that's for a different day and a different post.  :)  Instead it's that time of year once again when I put on my elf hat for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Macy's department stores!  With the huge support of Macy's, the BELIEVE holiday campaign is now in your local Macy's store.  The incredible and nostalgic campaign was inspired by the New York Sun's famous “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" editorial from 1897 and includes letter-writing "Believe Stations” in Macy's stores across the country.  For each letter dropped in Macy's Santa Mail, Macy's makes a $1 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to one million dollars.  Yup, $1,000,000!  And I'm one of the elves that has the distinct privledge of supporting my local Macy's to pick up the letters and deliver them to Santa Claus!

Write a letter to Santa and help make wishes come true!  Bring your stamped letter to your local Macy's and drop it into Santa's Mailbox.  Please visit this special website for more information and to create your very own special letter.  And, always remember that the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.  Please help to spread the word !

 As always, please continue to refer children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 years of age who have been medically diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.  Their greatest wish is counting on you!
