In an attempt to raise awareness of the website to raise fund for these children, there are plans to dress some of the children as Santa Helpers as they visit local shopping centers in the Los Angeles area to pass out flyers that will read “TrackSantaClaus.com.” The term “Track Santa Claus” is used as a metaphor for these children and other underprivileged children who live in harsh living conditions who may not have a Santa in their life and often find Santa in community. While more fortunate children send letters to Santa and have their Christmas list fulfilled under the tree. These children are writing letters to their parents who are incarcerated and sleep under the Christmas tree in the living room. Look out for them at a local shopping center in the greater Los Angeles area on December 24th.
