Tis the Season of Giving! Come laugh for a good cause! All ticket proceeds benefit the Santa Life Foundation 

A Letter From Santa Bear

Like so many people, I struggle with mental health. In November of 2021, due to a combination of procrastination, a busy work schedule with odd hours, and holiday closings, I was without my depression and anxiety meds for almost two weeks. As with many others, the holidays are a very emotional and rough time for me. After being without my meds for that long, the darkness started creeping in. My mind went to some scary places and I had some dangerous thoughts.

I saw a couple friends on Facebook looking for a Santa and I happened to have a suit so I offered. The first Santa experience was with a local radio station and a food/toy drive for local animal shelters. Their energy really got me fired up and excited and now I couldn’t wait for the second appearance at an event with a local rum distillery. I got to ride in on a fire truck which was super cool. All the people and their children being so excited to see me (Santa) really turned things around for my mental health.

I was infected by the joy and magic of Christmas. Santa Claus saved my life.

Upon finding this new passion for Christmas, I decided to explore how much a Santa can make. As an entertainer with a background in working with and coaching children, plus my physical gifts of a big beard and a jolly belly, it only made sense to explore this path. After doing some research, I realized that Santa is a big industry and often times not as accessible to all due to the costs involved.

While I have experienced financial struggles at different points in my life, there are many out there way worse off than I. $40-$80 is the average range of a mall Santa photo across the US. For some families, that is not feasible without some sacrifice.

Our mission is to bring free professional Santa pictures to all, without the extra expense. For those that can afford it, we will offer one on one Santa experiences. These experiences include hand written letters, video chats, and in-home visits, among other things. All funds raised go to cover the costs of the photographers, costumes and props for the free photo sessions.

We are also working to provide meals and presents to families in need. There will be other avenues of financial relief as well, such as assisting with bills and back to school costs. With our headquarters on Pine Island, we have some concentrated efforts to help the island residents, many of which are still displaced from Hurricane Ian in Sept of 2022.

But before anyone can save the world, you have to take that first step. Please take that first step with us and help share some Christmas Magic. Everyone deserves a taste of the Santa Life!

Rob Little’s outlook on life can be summed-up in two words: Pure Optimism. At a young age, he developed and nurtured an upbeat philosophy about life. In a recent interview he
revealed, "In elementary school, kids would always pull food away from me at lunchtime saying mean, hurtful things like… 'Let go of my sandwich!'"

Fortunately, Rob’s ability to see things in a positive light, coupled with his desire to make people laugh, has served him well. While working in a lucrative position as a computer programmer for IBM, he decided to take a huge risk. The Detroit-born comic sent out an ALL-company e-mail that read, "If you aren't happy here, quit your job and follow your dream." IBM promptly gave him his walking papers, but getting fired was a blessing for Rob and comedy lovers nationwide. He now enjoys an incredibly successful career as a stand-up comedian and with an impressive and growing portfolio of television and film appearances, he is quickly earning national recognition.

Watch Rob in action, and you’ll agree that he is one of the very best stand-up comedians in the country.

He headlines clubs and colleges all over the country, has appeared in national television commercials and on such shows as Comedy Central's “Distraction,” Fox News and SiTV's “Latino Laugh Festival.” He also earned a role on the CBS network summer hit series, “Fire me Please.” Rob’s recently released 3rd comedy DVD/CD, is another

Having established himself as one of the funniest, most progressive, new comedians in the country, it’s easy to understand why entertainment bookers call him "The Future of comedy with more contagious energy than the Energizer Bunny."

Rob was also selected as a feature performer at the Chicago Comedy Festival along with the Boston Comedy and Movie Festival. Recently Rob was named Maxim Magazine’s “Real Man of Comedy”. Last Comic Standing on NBC named him, “The Happiest Comic in America”. Campus Activities Magazine named him “College Comic of the Year” and you have also seen him on the Comedy Central sketch comedy show “Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time”.

Don't let the "Little" name fool you. Little is BIG! But that has never slowed him down. "Yeah, I'm big, and all my relatives are too. Heck, we just got our family portrait done by aerial photography. And there are only three of us." The truth is, Rob is big in more ways than one. With a grin on his face, a gleam in his eye, and a passion for comedy that is larger than life, he’s the biggest thing to happen to comedy in a long, long time.

testament to his talent and status as a comedic force.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Born and raised in The Bronx, New York, Mark Viera became fascinated with comedy very early on. While Mark’s mom spent countless hours as a social worker to provide for her family, Mark and his older brother would pass the time watching the popular TV shows of the 70’s and 80’s. He became so engaged in the performances of his favorite comic personalities, it didn’t take long before he began to emulate the characters he came to love. On any given night, he would entertain his family with remarkably accurate portrayals from shows like “Carol Burnett”, “Sanford and Son”, and “Three’s Company”.

As his career flourished, Mark personalized his artistic passion and parlayed it into one of his greatest labors of love: A one-hour Showtime special aptly entitled “Tales of a Nuyorican.” The show, an homage to his upbringing and hilarious life experiences, became an instant classic. With the success of Nuyorican, and a sold-out tour with singer Marc Anthony, he firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with.

Mark, a devoted family man with an altruistic nature, seized the opportunity to give back by first performing on a comedy special, “Stand Up For Family”, for American Family Insurance. “Stand Up For Family”, hosted by good friend and fellow comic Bill Bellamy, became a benchmark for family friendly entertainment. Shows like the “Make a Wish Foundation” and the “VIP Drug Rehabilitation Centers” in his native Bronx, as well as several command performances for our U.S. military overseas, accent his philanthropic efforts.

Mark made his network television debut on NBC’s Emmy award winning show “30Rock,” an opportunity that piqued the interest of the industry’s most prominent executives. The comic and businessman recently sold a sitcom based on his compelling life to Warner Bros. and FOX. The project, which was executively produced by comedy legend George Lopez, is currently being re-developed.

Mark is unfazed by his growing popularity and remains loyal to his New York roots. Known to his fans as the Latin Prince, he performs regularly at top comedy clubs including Caroline’s on Broadway and Gotham Comedy Club. He also headlines at Improv’s and FunnyBone Comedy Clubs nationwide. Mark was hand picked to headline on several ships for Norwegian Cruise Line. One of Mark’s favorite shows to perform in is the “Leatherneck” tour for the U.S. Marine Corps, now in its third year.

With nearly three decades on stage, Mike Rivera has established himself as a premier comedy attraction and consistent crowd-pleaser from coast to coast.

The quick-witted comedian tears through a fast-paced set that highlights his likable stage persona and clever writing style. It’s no wonder that ABC’s The View named him “America’s Most Hilarious Teacher” in a nationally-televised comedy competition.

The Teacher

Whether he’s delivering a lesson to engaged students or taking them on a trip overseas, Rivera connects with his students the way a comedian connects with his audience– because he is a comedian, and he considers his kids to be the most important audience he faces.

“Comedy is about finding common ground and reaching the audience in a personal and meaningful way,” Rivera said. “Teaching is no different, except the rewards continue long after the laughter stops.”
