Santa Claus has spent centuries leading the way for Christmas and holiday charitable giving. Below are some amazing charitable organizations that will let you do the same through your own generosity and expertise.

Christmas charities benefiting from this effort are:

• American Lung Assoc - Christmas Seals
• Toys for Tots
• Angel Trees
• Salvation Army - Red Kettles
• Trees for Troops
• Make-A-Wish Foundation

Santa's profile page is the target of a huge effort on the part of the search engine optimization (SEO) and social media professional community. People are using their technical expertise to promote this page in the search engine search results so that the charities above will be more visible to people seeing holiday charities to give to.

Everyone wins with this charity effort. Anyone who links to or otherwise assists with improving Santa Claus’ profile (the page you are looking at now) in the search results before Christmas Day will be rewarded with a free PeoplePond profile of their own with a free year subscription to SEO and identity verification services prepaid (a $99 value).*

According to PeoplePond CEO and founder, David McInnis, “We are excited to be able to provide the SEO and social media expert community with a means to come together to promote these worthwhile charities.”

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
