It makes us very happy to give back during the holiday season. One of the primary objectives here at the Santa Claus letter shop is to bring joy and happiness to children during Christmas. We are committed to distributing 15% of all profits equally to the charities listed below. These charities have been chosen by us because they specifically provide support and aide to children in need.

In addition to our contribution, when you make a purchase with us, during the check out process you will be asked if you would like to make a donation to the charities as well. Your contribution will be listed and published on our website as an anonymous gift. Just you first name, city, and state will be published on our website. Contributions will be issued from the Santa Claus Letter Shop to each respective charity through the Network for Good. The contribution receipts will be published on our website. An email will be sent to those who contributed as a reminder of their generosity and support.

If you are able, please help us help others in need. The children need our support and you can really make a difference.

See How We Did During the 2005 Season!

	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.
	The March of Dimes - The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. This mission is carried out through research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies' lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, low birthweight.
	The Ronald McDonald House - By creating, finding and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is working to better the lives of children and their families around the world. The three core programs of RMHC - the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile - are focused on helping families in need. The cornerstone Ronald McDonald House program began in 1974 based on a simple idea: Provide a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. Since that time, more than 10 million families around the world have benefited from the comfort provided by a Ronald McDonald House.
	The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
	Angel Names Association - The Angel Names Association is a nonprofit, 501(C)(3), charitable organization dedicated to assisting families of stillborn children through programs designed to provide financial assistance for end-of-life expenses and counseling services, and funding for stillbirth research.
	St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. We are where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do more science, more quickly. Where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients. Where no one pays for treatment beyond what is covered by insurance, and those without insurance are never asked to pay. We've built America's 3rd-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops.
