Give Back with Dear Santa

This season, make a meaningful difference.

Bring joy to children in hospitals this holiday season. With every purchase of a Dear Santa Bar, $2 goes directly to children’s hospital foundations across Canada, providing essential support to kids who need it most.

The Dear Santa Bar was created in 2019 after we learned that the number one fear of children staying in hospitals over the holidays is that Santa might not be able to find them. Inspired by this, we crafted a very special chocolate—Dear Santa Bar.

Every Dear Santa Bar you buy, supports kids like:

Leo

Leo is alive today thanks to the Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team and surgical expertise at the Alberta Children's Hospital. When his newborn lungs were being crushed by a fast-growing cyst, the Transport team was his only hope to get him quickly and safely from Lethbridge to Calgary for the life-saving care he needed at the hospital. Today he is thriving and one of his favourite treats is Purdys chocolates!

Tristan

Tristan's journey at the Stollery Children’s Hospital began when he was 10 months old, he was severely anemic and admitted for a month. Tristan needed Stollery care once at two and a half years old after falling into a day-old firepit, suffering severe burns on his hands. Now, this young fighter visits the Stollery regularly to laser his scars, he radiates strength, loves beatboxing and ninja training! He and his family are so grateful to have access to this world-class hospital right in their backyard.

Navy

At just 2 years old, Navy faced a life-threatening immune disorder that no child should ever have to face. Thanks to the care at BC Children’s Hospital—and her incredible sister Hallie’s stem cells—Navy received a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Today, she has a second chance at childhood, filled with hope, laughter, and the promise of a brighter future.

At just one year old, Nolan was diagnosed with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. After years of intense treatments and multiple bone marrow transplants, he relapsed in 2024 but bravely fought back.

Nash

Six-year-old Nash began his rare health journey at just four months old when he developed café au lait spots, later diagnosed as Neurofibromatosis Type 1—a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue. Six months ago, doctors at JPCH discovered a brainstem glioma during a routine MRI. He’s undergone six procedures involving general anesthesia without fear and continues to inspire everyone with his bravery and bright spirit.
