Operation Nine Reindeer, Inc. is America's Favorite Santa's special foundation to deliver to those in need of extra Cheer! Always Believe!

Operation Nine Reindeer was founded by a group of Friends and "America's Favorite Santa" - a Professional Santa Claus Portrayer - in October of 2012 as a foundation to provide the very best Christmas to selected local Families that truly need cheer during the holidays. Our hope and vision is to grow bigger each year with the help of local business donations and private gifts. No child should be without a Christmas.

We never want to make these updates to our Mission.

Our hearts are heavy as we share that the mother, teacher, wife, and friend at the center of Operation Nine Reindeer's Mission 40, Susan, has sadly passed away.

While we had hoped to bring some comfort to her during her courageous battle, our mission now takes on an even deeper meaning.

She leaves behind three amazing children and a dedicated husband who are navigating an unimaginable loss. Our mission will continue, and every dollar raised will go toward supporting this family during an incredibly difficult time.

We cannot take away their heartbreak, but together, we can help ease some of the burdens and remind these three children that they are not alone.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Operation Nine Reindeer and continues to believe in our mission of helping families when they need it most.

The mission doesn't end here. It simply becomes more important.

We’ll be accepting financial donations of any amount, as well as grocery, restaurant and DoorDash gift cards to help take some of the everyday burden off Susan and her family.

This one is personal. Mission #40. A student has asked. And we believe a Community will answer.

We’ve known Olivia for most of her life. America's Favorite Santa had the privilege of visiting her and her amazing family since she was little, and from day one, her family has always believed in what we do at Operation Nine Reindeer.

Over the years, they’ve hosted fundraisers, raised money, supported our mission and, most importantly, trusted us to take those funds and put them where they could make a difference. Olivia has grown up watching her family help us help others.

Well, Olivia is 13 now, and recently she came to us with a request of her own.

She wasn’t asking for herself. She was asking us to help her teacher.

Her teacher, Susan, is a beloved English teacher at Lionville Middle School, a mom of three, and someone who has spent years making a difference in the lives of her students. For nearly three years, Susan has also been fighting cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of bile duct cancer.

During that time, Susan has been through surgeries, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, hospital stays and treatments in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. And through so much of it, she kept showing up. She kept teaching. She kept encouraging her students. Then she went home and kept showing up for her own three children.

This August, Susan finally had to make the difficult decision to step away from teaching and concentrate on her health. Along with everything this family is already dealing with, they now face medical expenses, travel costs, everyday household bills and lost income.

And that’s when this 13-year-old girl, who has grown up watching her family help others, came to Operation Nine Reindeer and basically asked us a very simple question.

Can we help my teacher?

Yes, Olivia. We absolutely can. ❤️

So now I’m asking all of you to help us show up for Susan the way she has spent so many years showing up for her students and her family.

We’ll be accepting financial donations of any amount, as well as grocery, restaurant and DoorDash gift cards to help take some of the everyday burden off Susan and her family.

To make a donation, please visit https://operationninereindeer.com and click the yellow DONATE button. You’ll be directed to PayPal, where you can make a contribution of any amount. We are also accepting checks. If you’d prefer to donate by check or contribute gift cards, please send us a private message for the mailing address.

Every dollar helps, and every act of kindness matters. Thank you for helping us answer Olivia’s request and for showing Susan and her family just how much this community cares. ❤️

Olivia has grown up seeing what Operation Nine Reindeer and this community can do when someone needs us.

Let’s show her she was right to believe in us and her Community.

Always Believe!

WE'VE BEEN QUIET. BUT WE HAVEN'T STOPPED. ❤️

It's been a little while since you've heard from us here at Operation Nine Reindeer. But just because we've been quiet on social media doesn't mean we haven't been busy behind the scenes.

For the past few years, we've continued working quietly, helping families, answering calls for help, and doing what we've always done. No fanfare. No big announcements. Just people helping people.

And today, we're getting ready to launch something pretty special.

MISSION #40.

That's right. Our 40th official Mission. Forty opportunities that YOU have helped make a difference with. And this next one has a story behind it that reminds us exactly why Operation Nine Reindeer was started in the first place.

We'll be sharing more later today, and I hope you'll take a few minutes to read it, share it, and maybe even be part of it.

We've been working undercover. Now it's time to bring you along. ❤️
