Nov 7- Dec 24 - Macy's Believe Campaign,

Macy's is giving everyone a million reasons to believe while benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation again this year through the Believe holiday campaign.

Macy's stores will feature Believe stations where shoppers can write letters to Santa. People can also drop their letters - stamped and addressed to Santa At The North Pole - into the official R.H. Macy Santa Mail letterboxes at each Macy's store.

For each letter delivered, Macy's is pledging a $1 donation, up to $1 million, to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and help grant the magical wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

We hit the $1 million mark last year and hope to do it again this year, too! Please encourage your local schools, church children and youth groups and other youth programs to participate and write their letters to Santa to help make wishes come true! If you do not have a Macy's store nearby, send your letters to our Greenville office and we'll make sure Santa gets them.
