11.28.07 Show Hope with a Santa Photo

You’ve seen Santa (or his helpers) in your mall’s center court every holiday season, and in many of America’s mall’s last year WorldWide Photography, IPI and SEPIA Photos launched a an effort with their mall partners that gave patrons the opportunity to “Show Hope” to orphans through supporting adopion. This program allowed Santa Photo mall patrons to give a dollar or more to Shaohannah’s Hope, a grant program started by five-time Grammy award winner, Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth. 100% of every dollar received was given to the foundation that gives grant to families who want to adopt and need financial assistance.

After an overwhelming response last year, in funds raised and in testimonies from the parents who received the children into their homes, we are continuing this effort in malls across the country for the 2007 Christmas season.

There are now two donor level option. Like last year, donors who provide $1 will receive a personalized letter from Santa sent to their children via email on Christmas morning through www.myownsantaletter.com. Additionally this year, these friends who partner will also receive a Show Hope button. And new for 2007, donors who provide $5 or more will receive the personalized letter from Santa and a Show Hope memory bracelet. 100% of the donations collected will be gifted to the foundation again this year. On set and cash register signs will remind the patrons of this worthy effort, and we hope you’ll consider being a part.
