Give Kids the World Village: 2024 Charity Partner
We are thrilled to announce NAPEO Gives Back is partnering with Give Kids the World as our charity for 2024! Last year, we raised more than $300,000 to fund the installation of 1.6 million lights to illuminate the Village at GKTW throughout the 2023 holiday season. Through the efforts of the NAPEO Gives Back Committee and our members, we brought immeasurable joy to countless children and their families from around the world and helped them create priceless memories they will cherish forever. We love GKTW’s mission, and are so proud of the impact we made last year. We’re excited to continue our partnership with them in 2024!
This year, we will help fund the remodel of the Gingerbread House, the primary dining venue for wish families. The heartbeat of the Village, the Gingerbread House serves more than 350,000 meals each year while proving a welcoming and relaxing focal point for wish family bonding, socializing and camaraderie.
To refresh your memory, Give Kids the World Village is an extraordinary 85-acre resort in Kissimmee that provides magical theme park experiences for children with critical illnesses and their families. Give Kids the World allows these children and their families to take a break from critical care treatments so that they can just be a child, experiencing joy and making unforgettable memories.
There are THREE ways you can help:
-- Make a donation, no matter the size.
-- Purchase a NAPEO Gives Back banner to highlight your company’s support ($2,500).
-- Donate goods and services for the silent auction at NAPEO’s Annual Conference & Marketplace. Please contact Jenna Marceau or Corey Hookstra for more details.
Let’s harness the power of many to leave Orlando a little bit better than before we got there! If you have any questions, please contact Andrea Desmond.
