Our Partners
Being located in Florida, it's probably no surprise that more than half of our wish kids want to visit the sunshine state's Theme Parks! 60 percent want to visit the most magical place on earth, go behind-the-scenes of major blockbusters, and get soaking wet watching a water show. Because of our partners on the local and national level these special wishes for the entire family include airfare, accommodations, a car rental, tickets to several major Florida theme parks including Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World, meals and spending money.
We have hundreds of wonderful partners and sponsors in the Orlando area who help us make these special wishes come true. They all deserve our thanks, but there are definitely a few that have reached the pinnacle of giving and deserve an extra big thank you! When you are in the Orlando area, look for our certificates and plaques on the walls of many restaurants, hotels, and attractions. You can be proud to know that you are supporting a business with heart.
Airtran flies many of our families to their Florida dream vacation at no charge to us. They are our "Guardian Angels" of the skies!
The beautiful Royal Plaza Hotel in the Walt Disney World Resort graciously hosts a great majority of our families each year. Not only do they provide them with deluxe accommodations, every family is treated like royalty from the moment they arrive. They may even find a few surprises in their rooms!
Every one of our families are treated to a wonderful time at Wonderworks, an amazing - and UPSIDE DOWN! - hands on museum that the kids just love. Here they can try on a real space suit, land the space shuttle in a simulator or even experience an earthquake!! Check out the wonder of it all if you are in Orlando!
We always end our wishes with a celebratory dinner at a really fun, themed dinner show - Pirates Dinner Adventure! The food is really yummy and our wish kids are always picked to be in the show! The kids have a swashbuckling good time and it's a great way to end their special vacation. It's no wonder that the Florida Theme Parks are our most popular wish!
Of course, many wishes take place outside of Florida - like New York City and other major cities and often include special visits with the wish kids' favorite celebrity or participating in an exciting event.
And, outside of our corporate partners, our donors and other supporters - many of them Hospitals - are vital in making a child's wish come true and making sure that our wish kids have a bright and sunny day - even outside of Florida.
