29 years of holiday giving

It's a Wonderful Christmas

For 29 years, It's a Wonderful Christmas has brought hope, kindness, and holiday joy to children and families in the Charlotte community. The Tyson Family Foundation honors the legacy of this cherished initiative and its work alongside the late Judge Shirley Fulton.

Through community partners, generous sponsors, and dedicated volunteers, we hope to continue making the holiday season brighter for families who need encouragement and support.
