On Friday, November 2, James Shaw, Jr., known for stopping the deadly shooting at an Antioch Waffle House earlier this year, helped kick off the Macy’s Believe campaign.

Shaw joined Wish Kids Harry Dexheimer and Nadia Grafton at Macy’s in The Mall at Green Hills to write the first letters to Santa.

This year, Macy’s is using the Believe campaign to shine a spotlight on hometown heroes. Before they wrote their letters, Wish Kids Harry and Nadia presented Shaw with a Hometown Hero certificate.

For the 11th consecutive holiday season, Macy’s is partnering with Make-A-Wish for the annual Believe campaign, giving the gift of joy to children with serious illnesses. By sending a holiday wish list to Santa, shoppers can help grant the wish of a critically ill child.

Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish for each letter sent, up to one million dollars, from November 2, 2018, to December 24, 2018.

Customers can write their letters and drop them off in stores in the red Believe letterboxes or submit them online at macys.com/believe.
