Appleton, WI - Santa arrives at Macy's Fox River on his tour bus, but first makes stops at St. Vincent Regional Pediatric Center and Meadowbrook Elementary School to bring holiday cheer to children in partnership with Make-A-Wish Wisconsin.

 
Santa will visit St. Vincent Regional Pediatric Center, 835 South Van Buren Street, Green Bay - Mon., Nov. 26, 9:30 a.m.
 
Santa will be visiting with 21 children who are being treated at St. Vincent's and their families, reading to them and handing out presents. Time permitting, he will also visit with some children who are not able to leave their rooms.

Santa will then visit Meadowbrook Elementary School, 720 Hillcrest Heights, Green Bay - Mon., Nov. 26, 1:00 p.m.
 
Santa will surprise the entire student body of Meadowbrook Elementary at a school assembly, where he will read to the kids.

 
Santa's Public Appearance at Macy's Fox River - Mon., Nov. 26; 6:00 p.m.
 
Giving the reindeer time off for good behavior, Santa will arrive with a police escort in his shiny red tour bus and be greeted at the store. Santa welcomes one-and-all to join in the festivities as he reads The Night Before Christmas, visits with children of all ages and encourages everyone to put their letters to Santa in the Macy's Believe mailbox. 

 
This is the fifth year Macy's "Believe" campaign invites children to mail letters to Santa using Macy's Santa Mail Letterboxes.
 
Macy's donates $1 for each letter mailed in store, up to $1 million, to Make-A- Wish.
