About the Father Christmas
Cup
The purpose of the Father Christmas Cup is to
provide comfort and financial support to a family who will be experiencing
their first holiday season without a parent. Each year, the directors of The
Father Christmas Cup, Inc., a section 501(c)(3) non-profit, select a beneficiary
family or families from the local community. The money is important, but the
message of hope and love sent to the family at such a critical time is powerful
and life-changing.
The idea for the Father Christmas Cup
originated from a 1914, World War 1 Christmas truce, when German and English
soldiers stopped fighting and played a soccer match in the middle of no-man's
land. This powerful depiction of hope for peace, civility, and regard for one's
fellow man is the fundamental basis for the Father Christmas Cup. For more
information or to make a donation online please visit FatherChristmasCup.org.
