Our mission is to bring light, love, and holiday magic to children in foster care. Through our surprise flash mobs and promotional & fundraising efforts, we raise awareness and support for children who deserve the same Christmas magic as any other child, because every kid matters, especially during the holidays.

“This group shows up with joy, with purpose, and with the kind of energy that reminds you good people still exist.”
Every year, Santa’s Surprise Squad proudly partners with a foster care agency that shares our belief in the power of community, surprise, and joy. While our 2025 partner agency will be announced soon, this spot is reserved for an organization doing the real, meaningful work of supporting children and families in the foster care system.
From holiday wish lists to warm winter coats, we work hand-in-hand with our partner to make sure every dollar raised goes toward creating magical memories and meeting real needs.
This section will highlight their mission, stories from their community, and how your support through the Squad directly impacts the lives of foster youth.
Stay tuned, our official 2025 partner announcement is coming soon!
