Advocacy

Most Deaf children miss the conversation flowing around the family dinner table every night. Researchers call it dinner table syndrome — and its effects reach far beyond mealtime.

Deaf Santa Claus events face the same interpreter shortage seen in schools, healthcare, and work—your support helps ensure full access.

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.

When Deaf children meet Santa who signs, the holidays become truly inclusive. Your gift makes these moments accessible and affordable for families — at malls, schools, libraries, nonprofits, and community venues across the country.

Training Santas in sign language and Deaf awareness ensures every child, hearing or Deaf, can share in the magic of Christmas.
