Deaf Santa Claus faces barriers hearing Santas don’t—fewer bookings, interpreter costs, and limited opportunities. We’re working to change that.
For many Deaf children, the holidays mirror everyday life at the dinner table—full of conversation, but not always full of access.
Deaf Santa Claus will premiere at Cinema Salem, bringing together leaders in the Deaf and disability communities, advocates, and local audiences for a powerful theatrical premiere.
Your support helps fund travel, interpreters, local school and nonprofit visits, and media outreach — turning over 30 screenings into accessible, engaging events for families across the country.
Training Santas in sign language and Deaf awareness ensures every child, hearing or Deaf, can share in the magic of Christmas.
Deaf Santa Claus is not the same as a Signing Santa — identity and lived experience make the difference.
