LifeSanta, a nonprofit that seeks to inspire acts of kindness year round, celebrates its launch.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—NOVEMBER XX, 2021—LifeSanta, a nonprofit that seeks to inspire others to spread joy, today announces its launch. What began as a dream project by CEO and founder Doug Osmond has quickly become a social movement encouraging people to choose kindness, compassion and love for their fellow human beings.
“I’ve worked in the nonprofit sector for many years. Many organizations are focused on helping individuals in difficult situations, such as sex trafficking, addiction, abuse, etc. While these things are incredibly important, I wanted to do something more centered around the basic human need for love and connection,” Osmond said. “After much thought, Santa kept coming to mind, as he was an inspiration to me as a child. His jolly demeanor and spirit of joy made me want to be better, kinder and more compassionate. I thought, ‘Why can’t we extend this cheer to the entire year?’ And that’s how LifeSanta was born.”
LifeSanta consists of a small team of passionate, hard-working individuals hoping to spread the #momentsofjoy movement worldwide, inspire others and fund projects centered around giving and community. For individuals who want to get involved, they can join the 25 Club, an exclusive subscription with access to LifeSanta content, donation tracking, and stories of individuals impacted by a gift. LifeSanta encourages all individuals to take part, show goodness to those around them and use the #iamlifesanta in their social posts so others can see them doing good in their community.
“It’s time to set aside our differences and remember our similarities,” said Osmond. “We all need kindness. We all need compassion. We all need connection.” You don’t need a red suit, boots or white beard; everyone can be a Santa. Being a Santa is giving a gift with no strings or limitations. It’s a hug for your neighbor who’s having a difficult time. It’s a cup of coffee for a stranger in the carpool line. It’s a new pair of shoes for a child in need. It’s a message letting someone know you’re thinking about them. It’s absolutely anything you want it to be.
