The Triangle Santa Buddies promote the year around expression of the Christmas Spirit through a network of independent professional Santas and Mrs. Clauses throughout the Triangle and North Carolina.

Our Mission Statement:

•The Triangle Santa Buddies brings together and supports individuals and organizations portraying the legendary figure Santa Claus. We advocate the art of portraying Santa and Mrs. Claus throughout the Triangle and North Carolina.

•To that end we are dedicated to improving the quality of Santa and Mrs. Claus services through continuing education, fellowship, and mutual support.

•We meet to enjoy the fellowship of our members and to promote the skills and talents of conveying the Spirit of Christmas to each other and all those we serve.

•We pledge to help each other in the best interest of serving children and the community.

•We agree to respect and to encourage each individual’s approach to portraying Santa and Mrs. Claus.

•We pledge to be true to the Spirit of Christmas, be true to the traditional customs of Christmas, and to be true to your convictions as Santa and Mrs. Claus.

•We will provide guidelines for individuals trying to hire a Santa or Mrs. Claus but will not make any recommendation or endorsement of any Santa or Mrs. Claus whether a member of the Triangle Santa Buddies or not. We are not a talent agency promoting jobs for individual Santa or Mrs. Claus portrayers.

•A spirit of cooperation is central to everything we do and is evident in our motto: “The more Santa's there are, the more Christmas Spirit there is. But only one Santa in a Mall at a time.”
