Give Kids The World Village Initiates Holiday Fundraisers to Fulfill Wishes for Critically Ill Children

Help Critically Ill Children This Holiday Season Via the Give Kids The World Village Holiday Fundraisers

This holiday season, Give Kids The World Village, the esteemed 89-acre nonprofit resort in Kissimmee, is all set to host a series of heartwarming fundraising events. The Village has long been a sanctuary, offering week-long vacations at no cost to critically ill children and their families from around the world.

Thanks to the generous support from the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), the Village will gleam with an impressive 1.6 million lights, promising a holiday season that’s brighter and more enchanting than ever.

The festivities will commence on November 11 with the Holiday Soiree. This evening promises an elegant blend of dining, live performances, spirited auctions, and a jubilant dance party on the luminous Avenue of Angels. Notably, the Castle of Miracles will open its doors to reveal its ceiling adorned with over 180,000 gold stars, each commemorating a wish child. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.gktw.org/soiree23.

Following closely, from November 17, will be the Holiday VIP Tours. Guests can anticipate a mesmerizing experience as they explore the Village, decked out in its festive best. Another highlight this season is the Holiday Dessert Parties at Towne Hall’s balconies, which offer panoramic views of the Avenue of Angels and include an array of holiday treats. Dessert Parties can be booked for $60 per person by contacting events@gktw.org.

NAPEO’s NAPEO Gives Back initiative has played a pivotal role in realizing these events. Choosing Give Kids The World Village as their charity of choice, they’ve successfully raised over $300,000. These funds are earmarked for enhancing the Village, ensuring that visiting families have a magical experience.

Barron Guss, co-chair of the NAPEO Gives Back committee, expressed his enthusiasm, saying that the collaboration with Give Kids The World Village seeks to create cherished memories for children battling critical illnesses. Pamela Landwirth, CEO of Give Kids The World Village, conveyed her profound gratitude to NAPEO, emphasizing how their support enables the Village to provide a week of joy and respite to these families.

Proceeds from all holiday activities will help Give Kids The World Village create happiness, renew optimism, and ignite an enduring sense of hope in the hearts of wish families during life-changing week-long wish vacations. Every family is treated to an all-inclusive, customized experience including transportation; accommodations; all meals and snacks; donated theme park tickets; nightly entertainment; daily gifts; and more.

Located at 210 S. Bass Road in Kissimmee, FL, the Village is one of less than 1% of all U.S. charities to receive Charity Navigator’s highest rating 17 years in a row. For more information or to make a donation, visit www.gktw.org.
