Overview

The Nice List is a 501c3 nonprofit charity dedicated to take any funds received from booking Santa for your event and ensuring that any child who may be an economic crisis (parents loss of job, medical bills, emergency, etc) knows that they are on Santa’s Nice List by providing toys and gifts for them to have at Christmas time.

Last minute greatness while supporting an amazing cause

While on a country music tour, we reached out the day of the show as a last ditch effort to find a Santa. Though it wasn't a normal appearance by any means, he showed up with great enthusiasm and even spoke on mic in front of a sold-out audience. The best part was his commitment to the charity all of the proceeds go to support (which is what made my artist choose him over others). We didn't think there was any way to get Santa in Huntington, WV - especially in such top form! Hope we can find a way to use him again!

Great Santa Visit

Santa arrived on time, he talked with each child . He was good at relieving the anxiety of a 4 year old who feared he may be on the naughty list!! The good/naughty list is posted on our frig. All were on the good list!!! Many pics were taken for good memories! Thanks, Santa for making our day exciting!!!

Such well behaved children! Reminded me of the times my Uncle Bo would do his Santa visit for all the grand children at Mamaw’s House! Thanks for allowing me to help make your Christmas magical!

What to expect

Expect a very traditional, but non-traditional, Santa experience. I have no problem setting in a chair and letting kids sit down and tell me what they want for Christmas as a base line and I have no problem walking around, play games, take selfies, or whatever is needed to make it a memorable experience within my physical ability.

About

The Nice List is an organization that is defined by legacy and goodwill.

Isaac, the founder and Santa Causeplayer, took on the last wish of his Uncle Bo to "be Santa at least once" as his Uncle Bo was for him and has fallen in love with the character and the desire to be "nice" to his community.

Since it's inception, the Nice List has donated gifts to specific families facing economic crisis during the holidays. This tradition started when he first heard about and met his "Ellie Elf" who was fighting cancer and wasn't even two years old at the time.

Since then, the Nice List has helped several families by guaranteeing that not one cent of any funds received for a Santa visit goes to personal use. 100% is placed into our 501c3 organization so we can continue to do good for many years to come. We've been able to replace toys lost in the flood of Greenbrier County several years ago and started a new tradition of the "Christmas Wish" where we pick an organization that we feel does not get the funding or attention it deserves during the holidays. During our first attempt at the Christmas Wish, we raised $5000 in less than 60 days to provide all 400 students of a local elementary school with a toy and a blanket to take home with them for the holidays.

In order to guarantee no personal profit is made from the visits, Isaac continues to work his "9-5 job" for around 45-55 hours a week so availability is limited.

Additional booking notes

Do not require anything special for performance other than traditional requests like "don't let the kids see me drive up or leave". Please do not spring anything specific on me during the event. I try to be as well prepared as I can for your event and request that I know what's expected of me before hand so I can prepare.

Influences and inspiration

My Uncle Bo was a Santa to myself and all of his nieces and nephews growing up. He is my main influence as to why I'm doing this.

I have taken great care to watch and learn over the last 10+ years multiple iterations of Santa to try and make a unique experience that only I can provide.

Setup requirements

Chair (can bring Santa chair but requires little assembly by helpers)

Potential area to "cool down" if needed
