Once upon a time....1985... in a land far away...FLORIDA... ....a most wonderful adventure began. No one, young or old, rich or poor, would have ever dreamed that something so wonderful was about to happen to change the lives of thousands of special people! CHRISTMAS was on its way, and preparations were being made by all. Everyone was busy with the “hustle and bustle” of the season.

At least, that is how it appeared. However, there were some people who were not preparing for a celebration. There were no smiles on their faces. Some had lost their jobs, others had sick children. There were those who were lonely and many were hungry. Thousands were homeless and all were scared. As the story goes, in the sunshine state of Florida, a small marketing company had a wonderful idea, an idea that would give all these special people an everlasting gift... THE GIFT OF HOPE! Everyone agreed that there was one and ONLY ONE man for the job.... SANTA CLAUS! |

Everyone at the marketing company got busy. The artists, and technicians worked endlessly to put the finishing touches on their creation.

| And that, my friends, is how SANTA DOLLARS™ came to be! It was not long before these unique “holiday notes” were being sold by various retail outlets across the United States. These retailers soon become know as Santa’s helpers as all proceeds from the sale of Santa Dollars™ were donated to their favorite charitable organizations. A big THANK YOU to all the retailers who believe in Santa and have contributed their time and energy to the Santa Dollar™ Program! SINCE THEIR BEGINNING IN 1985, SANTA DOLLARS™ HAVE RAISED MORE THAN $18 MILLION DOLLARS! |
