For the second straight year, I am very happy to share with you Macy’s BELIEVE campaign, which builds on the great success of last year’s holiday effort to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For those not familiar with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, they give hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. Truly a wonderful foundation for an outstanding cause!
This year, Macy’s is adding to the spirit of “Believe” with a national Santa Tour, an honorary National Believe Day, a “Yes, Virginia” animated special, and a new TV commercial featuring Queen Latifah.
Inspired by the New York Sun’s famous “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” editorial from 1897 and includes letter-writing “Believe Stations” in Macy’s stores across the country.
For each letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1 million.
On Friday, December 11, 2009, Macy’s will celebrate the first National Believe Day to recognize and reward acts of kindness and generosity from coast to coast. Also that day, CBS will premiere a new original animated special called, “Yes, Virginia.” on Friday, December 11, at 8 p.m. ET.
For more details, please visit Macy's BELIEVE.
While there, don't forget to enter the "Tell Us Why You Believe" contest to win a trip for four to New York City, for the Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010. To enter just tell Macy’s WHY YOU BELIEVE.
This year they have also added a wonderful resource for schools and teachers by providing an online toolkit that allows teachers and schools to use “Believe” as a writing lesson or activity during the holiday season. The toolkit includes a Santa letter template, coloring sheet and “I Believe” bookmark cut-out and can be downloaded at Macy's BELIEVE.
