From Tatem Kingsbury regarding the Macy’s Believe/Make a Wish Campaign: "All believers of all ages can participate! Check out the believe campaign sponsored by Macy’s. You can also send your letter via the internet! The believe campaign goes through December 24th, but if you deliver it on this Friday (Dec 12th) it's worth a $2 donation!! As being part of a wish family, I understand the value and importance of the wishes being granted. Its the special family time and memories of a lifetime that the families will forever cherish. I will be grateful for Make-A-Wish. The Believe campaign is a great way to show your support for Make-A-Wish, and the only thing you have to do is write a letter to Santa. I encourage everyone to participate!!! I Believe! We Believe!
