Woodfield Mall Hosts Caring Santa® This Holiday Season

Woodfield Mall provides children with all spectrums of special needs and their families an opportunity to enjoy the time-honored holiday tradition of photos with Santa through a sensory-friendly Caring Santa event in partnership with Autism Speaks. Caring Santa will occur on Sunday, Dec. 2, and Sunday, Dec. 9 (8 - 10 a.m.) prior to mall opening. Guests must register in advance at www.simon.com/caringsanta.
