Junior League of Manatee County Brings Holiday Magic to Local Families with Santa Mail of Manatee

The Junior League of Manatee County (JLMC) is bringing a little extra North Pole magic to the holiday season with the launch of Santa Mail of Manatee: Delivering Holiday Magic, One Letter at a Time. This new seasonal fundraiser invites families to surprise the children in their lives with personalized letters straight from Santa Claus, all while supporting programs that make a difference throughout the local community.

For a $15 donation, families will receive a personalized letter from Santa, complete with an official Nice List Certificate. For those looking to add a little extra Christmas Eve magic, a $25 Reindeer Package includes the personalized letter, Nice List Certificate, and a special packet of Reindeer Food with instructions card.

Each letter is customized using details provided by parents and caregivers, including the child's name and a special accomplishment, positive behavior, or personal detail from the past year. The result is a thoughtful holiday keepsake designed to make children feel extra special.

"Santa Mail of Manatee is a fun way for families to create a little extra holiday magic while also supporting the work we're doing right here in our community," said Brooke Codere, the Communications Director of the Junior League of Manatee County. "We're excited to introduce this new fundraiser and hope it becomes a special holiday tradition for families for years to come."

Proceeds from Santa Mail of Manatee support the Junior League of Manatee County's mission-driven community initiatives, including efforts addressing food insecurity and supporting local youth. As an organization committed to advancing women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, JLMC works year-round to strengthen the communities it serves.

Orders are being accepted from November 1 through December 6, 2026. JLMC will mail all letters by December 14, with delivery expected before Christmas.
