Back in 2018, a Boston firefighter, took on a new fight. A pillow fight. And a fight to spread Christmas cheer.

Brendan Sullivan, dressed as Buddy the Elf, took to the streets, or better yet, the cobblestones of Faneuil Hall to spread the spirit of the season, with impromptu pillow fights. His first video from 2018 went viral, and now has close to 1 billion views!

Brendan the Elf's videos have received national attention.

Being the good Elf that he is, Brendan has turned his viral videos into fundraising vehicles/ toy drives for Boston Children's Hospital. He sold t-shirts to raise money for the hospital and in 2019 did a toy and Christmas tree collection for them. Now, Sullivan is selling “North Pole COVID Response Team” T-shirts.
