Macy’s Santa at Brookwood

Birmingham has been chosen as one of the 26 cities where Macy’s Santa will make a stop this holiday season as a part of the department store’s Believe campaign. Both adults and children are invited to visit the Macy’s location at Colonial Brookwood Village at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 17 to meet Macy’s Santa and deliver holiday wish lists to him in person.

Earlier that day, the Macy’s Santa will make a special appearance to the children of Make-A-Wish Alabama at Barber Motorsports Museum. This private event for the Make-A-Wish children will include a special “grand entrance” as Santa rides in on a red Porsche to the tunes of the Homewood High School Marching Band.

The visit is part of Macy’s annual Believe campaign to support to Make-A-Wish. As in previous years, Macy’s invites believers of all ages to bring their stamped letters to Santa to their local Macy’s, and for each letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million. Macy’s has donated nearly $5 million to Make-A-Wish over the first four years of its Believe campaign, helping make wishes come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

 “Writing a letter to Santa and delivering it to our local Macy’s store in Homewood is a quick, simple and fun way to help wishes come true this holiday season. We are confident that kids and kids-at-heart will make this a record-setting year for the Believe campaign,” said Pam Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Make-A-Wish’s Alabama Office.
