Disney Helps "Give Kids The World" Celebrate

Earlier this month, Disney executives were on hand to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Give Kids the World (GKTW), a local nonprofit that provides cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses. A highlight of the festivities: the unveiling of a new Disney-supported Star Tower and Gallery of Hope, which will shine a spotlight on the organization’s special guests. “I’m proud that Walt Disney World was one of the first supporters of Give Kids the World,” said Walt Disney Parks & Resorts President of Worldwide Operations and GKTW Advisory Board Member Al Weiss. “There’s no doubt that the memories created at the Give Kids The World Village are treasured by the families who visit but they are also cherished by the thousands of Disney VoluntEARS whose lives have been changed by their own visits with the remarkable children they meet.” Learn more.
