MyEquipmentSanta Program: Equipping Holiday Magic Makers

Welcome to the MyEquipmentSanta Program. We exist to bring the right gear to the right people—Santas, Dickens carolers, Grinches, elves, and all those who make the holiday season come alive. Inspired by a friend who knew how to light up a room, M.E.S. is more than equipment—it’s about carrying forward the magic of the holidays.


Why Gear Sponsorship Matters

Every holiday character has a story to tell. A Santa without his suit is like a Dickens actor without a waistcoat or a Grinch without his green fur. The cost of these costumes and props is steep, and not every performer has the means to make it happen. That’s where MyEquipmentSanta steps in.

Your support can:

1. Sponsor a Character’s Gear

2. Corporate Sponsorship

Sometimes, we get lucky... Meet Santa D2 and Santa Alona. All they needed was a bit of help to get rolling... Ho ho!! Part of the class of 2024...

Santa D2

Jeez we meet some nice folks doing all of this. D2 is on a mission that really tugs the heart strings, and we're trying to help. He'll be sporting my old suit... I couldn't be more proud to hand it off to someone who is going to put it to good use! ho ho!

Santa Alona

Being a single mom is  a bit of work alright! So we're doing what we can to support   Alona as she takes on becoming Santa AND Mrs C! We're handing her two rigs to try to get her  up and running ASAP so she can join us making bank as a virtual Santa & Mrs C. I tell ya, we know all the nice people...

Santa Cole

He always wanted to be a Santa? Yes... Santa Cole. He's a jolly fellow. 

We are pleased to mention we're helping him do some good work over the holidays. Cole, to his credit, has been really good at following up on opportunities we've unearthed... He's scored several jobs and numerous bookings! And because of our supporters, we're able to help him with his gear! Ho ho!! A Christmas miracle? No! Just neat people working together to really make a difference!

This season, Santa Cole will be working a variety of private events; he will be at Lit Immersive and even The  5th  Ave Theatre... Ho ho! How neat!!

Class of 2023 Santa Dave

Dave was out here last year, and we did some Santa work together. I'm pleased. I was telling him how we'd started more mentoring and now our equipment sponsorship program, and he told me we get the suit off his back next year since he's going to get a new one! So that nice plush suit he is wearing right there? Next year, we can use it to help another new Santa in need! Ho ho! Now that is a Christmas miracle. Ho ho!!

This year? We're helping 7 folks with bits and bobs... Belts, boots, a sack here, a wig there. In total, we've 4 we're pretty much done head to toe, and a few others where we have helped them with bits and pieces. Yet here is the best part of this story! We're just getting started. Over the 2025 season, we're going to find more used equipment we can pass along, more resources we can use to help, and more time to help more people, and as next year comes on, we're going to be able to help more new workers make more money! Ho ho! How fun!

We've partnered with Champions, a local heavyweight in the party supply space run by the highly savvy Victoria Champion, a third-generation owner.

 Champions not only took wonderful care of us, but they also showed us a whole line of costumes, allowed us to try them on, and more! Champions! They are great!

From Ukraine... Yak Hair With Love...

We're really proud of this! We have a Santa who needs a high-quality beard so he can earn some solid cash this season. We were able to secure a wonderful Yak Hair beard for him! We received a great deal on the piece. The provider is a wonderful woman who lives in Ukraine, and she took great care of us! This is another example of the My Equipment Santa program, a HeartCloud Foundation program that helps folks who want to work to have the equipment so that they can. 

A vintage rig from 1991!! How fun...

I asked a Santa the other day about gear? 

He said, "Times are tough, Dan. I think I saw a $40 rig on Amazonia..."

And I said "Don't do that. Don't. I'll find you some gear. Don't waste a $40...."

So we have found some. He wants to work. I am going to find a way ( or two or three ) to help him. Ho ho! After all, what would you expect from My Equipment Santa...

This rig is a nicely made "semi-pro" rig that we were able to land for a little over $100. It's about a $250 rig in today's dollars, and it is going to serve our Santa wonderfully. Ho ho! How neat!
