After successfully kicking off Beyond the Entertainer in 2020 with Leno Claus in Chicago and Oakland, we have had three very successful years in a row wrapping the DC area and our new home of Dallas into our outreach. Our founders, Charles & Jennifer, created Leno Claus in 2020 after having their first child & watching all of the previews for the 25-day countdown to Christmas. They decided they wanted to have their own countdown to Christmas & created Leno Claus. From December 1st to December 20th, Beyond the Entertainer partners with 20 organizations, donating holiday gifts, stocking stores at organizations, giving away items, making monetary donations, etc. Beyond the Entertainer allows fans worldwide to nominate friends and family who needed a little holiday cheer for the last five days. Although we started with five families being recognized for the final five days, this past year, we were able to increase to 4 families a day who each granted some holiday cheer. Nominations for 2024 will open this summer!
