The Santa Claus Foundation TM

The Santa Claus Foundation advocates for the 2 million children in the United States annually who are abused, neglected, exploited, abandoned, homeless, and institutionalized through no fault of their own. Annually, 1 out of 37 children in our great nation fall into these categories. Over time, these vulnerable children in dire circumstances become adults -- an estimated 50 million!

Santa spent a week in June 2008 in Indianapolis with the Federal Emergency Management Agency Community Relations Team 8, responding to flood-effected counties. The last time Santa served FEMA was in response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Santa joined Save the Children's Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, in June 2008 to discuss the childhood obesity epidemic with Members of Congress, helping garner numerous co-sponsors for HR 2677, The Improved Nutrition and Physical Activity Act (IMPACT). Currently, more than 30% of children in the US are overweight or obese, ruining their physical and emotional health and costing the US more than $117 BILLION in 2008 alone.
