The Macy’s Believe campaign benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation during the 2011 holiday season. Entering its fourth year, this campaign draws on Macy’s storied association with the holidays (Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Miracle on 34th Street).

The Believe campaign is rooted in a letter to the editor written by 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon in 1897 asking if there is a Santa Claus. New York Sun editor Francis P. Church responded with a poignantly worded essay on the importance of believing, including the famous line: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist…”

On Friday, Dec. 9 Macy’s will again celebrate National Believe Day. The purpose of National Believe Day is “to celebrate the spirit of generosity and goodwill while spreading the holiday season’s message of joy and kindheartedness toward all.” The Make-A-Wish Foundation will support National Believe Day by granting wishes or planning wish-related activities in its chapters nationwide.

Involve your friends and family in supporting children’s wishes by encouraging them to write a letter to Santa. Collect the letters and take them to your nearest Macy’s to support the Believe campaign. For every letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1 million.

$1 for every letter dropped off to our local Macy’s is donated to our local Make-A-Wish chapter.
