Blue Santa was created in 2007 by a handful of East Texas Fraternal Order of Police officers taking a few children the officers had met on calls Christmas shopping in Tyler, TX. Now Blue Santa has grown! Every year hundreds of police officers in the East Texas area take hundreds of children Christmas shopping. Most of these children are victims or witnesses of crimes. The last time a child comes into contact with an officer should not be remembered as the worst day of that child’s life.
If you are a local police officer and would like to nominate a child for this year’s event, please fill out the form below. Remember to please provide all of the information so we can contact the parent /guardian of the child(ren) and invite them. If you would like to be the one to shop with the child please indicate that so you can be placed with the child during the event.
Unfortunately, the FOP has a limit to how many children we can accommodate for this event based on yearly donations and the number of officers available. Please submit any nominations for the event by December 1st of the year. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for any questions.
