Greetings from The Santa Claus Fellowship

​

Welcome to The Santa Claus Fellowship! At the heart of our mission is a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves to experience the magic of joy, wonder, and kindness—not just during Christmas, but throughout the entire year. With over 40 years of experience portraying Santa Claus, I have had the privilege of spreading happiness to children and families, creating cherished memories, and inspiring a spirit of giving that transcends the holiday season. My wife and I have dedicated our lives to this mission, and in the spring of 2022, we made the scenic town of Ferdinand, Indiana, our home—a place that reflects our love for community, children, and service.

​

Through the years, my journey as Santa Claus has taken me to many meaningful places. From creating Santa’s Main Office at the Santa Claus Museum and Village to raising funds for Riley Children’s Hospital and supporting community initiatives like Smile on Down Syndrome, every experience has reinforced the importance of bringing joy to others. I have had the honor of training Santa's, hosting two successful Santa Claus schools in Santa Claus, Indiana, and even working with the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, teaching those who bring the magic of Santa Claus to life. The joy of spreading happiness has been my life's passion, and it is my deepest desire to continue this mission on an even larger scale through The Santa Claus Fellowship.

​

The Santa Claus Fellowship, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established to provide joy, hope, and support to children and families through acts of kindness, giving, and celebration. While we focus on the spirit of Christmas, our mission extends beyond the season, helping those in need all year long. In addition to spreading joy, The Fellowship will offer financial assistance and volunteer efforts where needed most. With plans to be fully operational by 2025, The Fellowship will also give rise to the Santa Claus Research Committee, which will focus on preserving the traditions of Santa Claus, conducting educational programs, and inspiring individuals to embody the spirit of giving.

​

To complement the Fellowship, we are creating The Enchanted Land of Santa Claus, a magical destination where children and families can experience the wonder of Christmas firsthand. This unique attraction will not only offer a place of joy and celebration but will also serve as a sustainable way to fund the mission of The Santa Claus Fellowship. Inspired by the success of Santa’s Main Office, where we tripled attendance and raised significant revenue in just two months, The Enchanted Land of Santa Claus will become a place where children’s imaginations can soar, and memories are made to last a lifetime.

​

Together, we can create something extraordinary. By joining us on this journey, you help build a world where joy has no season and every day offers a chance to believe in magic, kindness, and hope. Whether through financial contributions, volunteer work, or simply sharing our mission, your support will bring happiness to countless children and families. We invite you to be part of this dream—to bring smiles to little faces, inspire imaginations, and make the world a bit brighter for those who need it most. Welcome to The Santa Claus Fellowship, where joy lives, kindness thrives, and magic is always within reach.
