Make a Wish Foundation and Macy*s

Macy*s is donating $1 for every letter sent to Santa through their website, I think this is great I just "sent a letter to Santa"

Every Letter Counts

Spreading the spirit of the holiday season is
rooted in giving back. Check out how letters to
Santa have helped Macy's & Make-A-Wish®
create transformative wish experiences for kids
with critical illnesses.

It is a good and generous program. In the main store on 34th Street in NYC, there is a giant “mailbox” for letters to Santa. Every letter placed in it results in a Macy’s donation to enable sick children’s wishes. It’s been around at Christmas for a very long time and yields many dollars for the charity.

The Make A Wish foundation is absolutely amazing. Not only do they give 100% to the sick children but teach the children to "embrace" their illnesses.

I know this first hand as a close friend of mine has a young son who was diagnosed at age 3 with a rare form of leukemia -- this little boy has a heart as big as the world. He was granted his wish and it was wonderful.

He collected over 1,000 letters from his classmates & teachers (& community) and delivered them to Macy's in NY during the MAW ceremony.

Although, he is ill it never stands in his way! His family is amazing & Im blessed to know them! They all bring a touch of light to everyday!!!

I have loved going to Macy's at NY since I was a young girl. I always loved that store and still do. It is wonderful they are giving to the Make a Wish Foundation which is such a worthwhile cause. I hope it is a huge success and many children are able to have their wishes granted. Thank you Macy's, you are a quality store that has so much to offer and may you continue to provide excellence to all.

Thanks for the heads up about this, @I am still oxox, and to everyone else for the additional information. I didn't know about Macy's participation in this, but now I'm off to read more about it and see if I can join in. Thanks, again!
