Macy’s 12th annual Believe letter writing campaign seeks to
capture the joy and generosity of the holiday season by asking the
community to come together to help grant wishes for children with
critical illnesses. From Nov. 4 through Dec. 24, 2019, Macy’s has
pledged to donate $1, up to $1 million, to Make-A-Wish for each
letter collected in-store or submitted online at macys.com/believe.
On National Believe Day, Macy’s will double its donation to
Make-A-Wish, pledging $2 for each letter collected, up to an extra
$1 million, above the existing $1 million campaign goal, to help
children’s life-changing wishes across America come true.
“Each year, we’re in awe of the outpouring of support for the
Macy’s Believe campaign on National Believe Day,” said Sam Di
Scipio, Macy’s senior director of corporate communications, giving
and volunteerism. “It’s a remarkable day as communities across the
country and customers of all ages work together to help Macy’s
raise another $1 million for Make-A-Wish in one single day. Just
imagine how many wishes that grants and how many smiles it will
bring to children battling critical illnesses.”
To help Macy’s reach its extra $1 million goal on National
Believe Day, dozens of Macy’s stores are partnering with their
local communities to host letter writing events. From local school
groups and organizations to celebrity influencers and sports
personalities, communities nationwide will come together to write
their letters to Santa in honor of National Believe Day and help
more life-changing wish experiences come true.
This year, Macy’s Santa will again take over @macys Twitter
account in celebration of National Believe Day! Fans of Saint Nick
can tweet with him from 11 a.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 6.

About Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish® creates life-changing wishes for children with
critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child’s wish to
life because a wish is an integral part of a child’s treatment
journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build
the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their
illness. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the
world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving
children in every community in the United States and in more than
50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters,
staff and nearly 40,000 volunteers across the U.S., grant a wish
every 34 minutes, on average, somewhere in the country. Since 1980,
Make-A-Wish has granted more than 315,000 wishes to children in the
U.S. and its territories; more than 15,600 in 2018 alone. For more
