LANCASTER, Pa. — A Central Pennsylvania nonprofit organization is inviting local children to write their letters to Santa Claus in braille.
It's a yearly tradition at VisionCorps, whose goal is to empower those who are blind or vision impaired in Lancaster, Lebanon, Chester, York and Adams counties, the organization said in a press release.
“This ageless tradition of writing a letter to Santa is available to children who are blind or vision-impaired,” said Dennis Steiner, VisionCorps president and CEO. “We invite children to send their letters to Santa and tell him why they deserve to be on the ‘nice list.'"
"Each letter will receive a response back from Santa, also in braille.”
People of all ages who want to write to Santa in braille are also invited to participate, said Steiner.
“This is a great opportunity to practice writing and reading in braille,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where you live – if you want to contact Santa Claus and send a note in braille, you can mail it to us, and we’ll make sure that Santa sees it.”
Those interested in participating should send letters to:
Santa’s Attention, VisionCorps (Erika Rothermel, head elf), 244 N. Queen St., Lancaster, PA. 17603.
