Join a team. Help a child.

Santa vs. the Elves: It’s a friendly fundraising competition within the Globe Santa community. Now it’s YOUR turn to pick a side! Plan an event, choose a Team Santa or Team Elf donation theme—and have fun helping local families in need.

When it’s Santa vs. the Elves, the kids always win!

Here’s how it works:

1. Plan an event

Help Globe Santa by raising funds through anything from a small gathering to a larger fundraiser event. You can invite Santas or Elves only, or have both teams compete. We’ve listed a few ideas below, but don’t be afraid to get creative.
• Hold a Santa or Elf themed house party
• Plan a Santa vs Elves fundraiser at a work
• Organize a school event where teams dress as Santas or Elves
• Challenge another sports team or social club to a donation showdown

2. Get the goods

Globe Santa supplies both teams with an equal number of provisions: Team Santa or Team Elf themed signs, bumper stickers, stationary and more.

3. Submit donation

Simply select Team Santa or Team Elf when you make your group donation. Globe Santa will keep track of team totals on our homepage! Individual donor? You can still be part of the fun. Choose “Team Santa” or “Team Elf” on your check or online donation, then follow the results on our homepage.

Finally, don’t forget to share your story with Globe Santa. We want to hear from you! Send your Team Santa or Team Elf themed stories, photos and videos to santa@globe.com so we can share them with the community.

Thanks for helping children in need through this fun competition.

Are you a
Santa or an Elf?

The Santas have been in charge for hundreds of years. They’re confident, comfortable taking the lead, and really know how to drive the sleigh. This is your team if you’ve got skills and swagger like Santa.
BE SANTA STRONG!



Elves are fun and mischievous. They’re not in the spotlight, but let’s face it—they do most of the work. If you’ve got a green streak in you, maybe its time you joined this Elf uprising.
