Friday Favorites – Give Kids The World

In loving memory of my dear friend Polly who lost her battle in 2008…

here’s to your love of kids and Disney…’til we meet again!

For today’s Friday Favorites, I would like to share with you an incredible charitable organization called Give Kids The World. If you are not familiar with this group, they work with wish granting organizations to provide week-long Central Florida vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families free of charge.

Through generous donations and hard-working volunteers, Give Kids The World has welcomed more than 130,000 children and their families from over 70 countries around the world. These families are given a place to stay in the Give The Kids The World Village, donated theme park tickets to Walt Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios, meals, transportation and more.
