Sharing! Updates: Caring Santa, Toy Guide, and Freedom Chair
Caring, Sensitive Santa
Caring Santa is an opportunity for children with special needs and their families to enjoy a photo session with Santa. Extra care has been taken to support the sensory, physical and other developmental needs of children so they can enjoy this wonderful holiday tradition.
The program is owned by Simon Property Group and is implemented with input from AbilityPath.org.
If you or your family are interested in visiting Caring Santa, please contact the manager at your selected mall.

Freedom Chair Winner
The winner of the contest giveaway for the Freedom Chair, sponsored by Crosswind Concepts, is Anthony S., who is 8 years old. In the picture, he is holding a turtle that he discovered while on a hike with his family.
This is a wonderful opportunity made possible by the Freedom Chair because Anthony’s parents were told he would never walk, talk or sit. He has also recently joined Cub Scouts and continues to grow and enjoy the world around him.
