Help Santa Find the Perfect Real Christmas Tree Contest

2007 UPDATE: Due to lack of funding, the Christmas Spirit Foundation is not offering the Santa Contest during the 2007 holiday season.

During 2004-2006, together with Santa, the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation found kids who helped keep the SPIRIT of Christmas alive and well.  Our contest winners won $5,000 to $10,000 college scholarships, or fun family trips to Orlando or other prizes.  Thousands of kids participated by taking a photo of their family next to their Christmas Tree and explaining in a short essay or story "why the tree was perfect or special to them."

We hope that our supporters will help fund the contest again in the future, so please check back again in 2008!
