Hi, I'm Santa-Jim!


For 25 years, Jim’s mission was to make a meaningful difference in every life he touched. Beyond spreading holiday cheer as Santa, he also spent nearly 30 years supporting young children at Washington Elementary in Mount Vernon, offering extra care to those who needed it most.


His snow-white beard and joyful HO-HO-HO will be dearly missed.

Jim’s spirit lives on through his sons, AJ and Dustin, and a few magical elves who are dedicated to providing families in need with a special holiday experience.


I Heart Santa Claus will continue—and be more charitable than ever.
