Caring Santa Article Update!
Our last Caring Santa event will be held in Pennsylvania on Sunday, December 4. RSVP for Caring Santa, PA now at http://community.abilitypath.org/Events/Caring_Santa_PA2 and download the flyer to share with others. Four U.S. cities have already welcomed the Caring Santa into their local malls, which provided children with special needs an opportunity to visit and take a photo with Santa in an environment that supports their sensory, physical and developmental needs. Watch a news clip from our North East Mall event near Fort Worth, Texas!
“Every family of children with special needs has probably had at least one mall photo moment that was less than ideal. A traditionally heartwarming experience can become overwhelming and as a result, many special needs families opt not to partake in this tradition,” said Sheryl Young, CEO of AbilityPath.org. “With the help of The Noerr Programs and the participating malls, we are changing that! We have worked together to lessen potential triggers and having the event occur during private mall hours provides a calmer sensory-friendly environment.”
AbilityPath members receive $5 dollar coupon off their photo package! If you aren’t a member of AbilityPath, join today, it is free!
Caring Santa is a result of a joint partnership between AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community and The Noerr Programs, a leading marketing and digital imaging company providing the Santa and Bunny Photo experience at malls nationwide.
Don’t miss the last of these one-of-a-kind holiday events for families living in Pennsylvania at the Oxford Valley Mall on Sunday, December 4 from 9:00 to 11:00am. RSVP to help us make this an extraordinary experience for all who attend!
We look forward to seeing you at our Pennsylvania Caring Santa event!
