The first Holiday Magic, a Gift for Children of All Ages CD was produced in 2003, when professional voice actor and Albuquerque native Jeff Gelder was tasked in a Landmark Education class to come up with a project that would enhance the community and ultimately take on a life of its own. That’s just what has happened, as Gelder, and the Board of Directors, now field many inquiries about the CD throughout the year. “This year we hope to once again have CD’s for 70+ hospitals including; Children’s Hospital’s in San Diego, Milwaukee, Albuquerque, Orange, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Madera, Wilmington, Oakland, Omaha, Providence, St. Louis, Greenville, NC, Greenville, SC, Raleigh, Aurora, Cleavland, Minneapolis, Detroit, Fargo, Duluth, plus Singapore, Asia, Newcastle Upon Tyne and London, England! Here are the details… Through the generous donations of several singers and actors we are creating the 15th annual compilation recording titled “Holiday Magic, A Gift for Children of all Ages 2017.” The tale is shared by Jeffery the reindeer and Santa Claus as they make their way from the North Pole to visit the children. They are joined by Jeffery’s cousin Carlito who lives at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, Kate the adventurous reindeer from Milwaukee, Mrs. Claus, Trixie the Jersey Reindeer, and Master Elf Thalion who runs Santa’s workshop! Our goal is to brighten the holidays for the children spending the season at Children’s Hospital’s and their siblings. Last year nearly 11,000 copies of the CD were delivered to Children’s Hospitals internationally and they were thrilled to have them and distribute them to their patients!
