I've just about tapped out my budget with donations to everyone through David (ILoveRides).

The 1st person from Valleyfair gets my last $10.00.

Alan

Thank you Alan!

Between our $50 and Chuck's $25 for the first person to register for Valleyfair, their registration is pretty much done!

C'mon Valleyfair people, where are you?!?!?

Thank you Robb & Elissa!

Valleyfair: $0 (come on guys...someone sign up! You already have $75 pledged to you! I'll add $5 more)

Thank you Joey!

Big thanks to Alfred for kicking off what I hope is the first of many donations....and big thanks to Robb for the promo and the chance to be part of one of the best groups of people in the world!

[sjsharkattack10Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

Just a reminder if I reach my goal (200 dollars) I will donate 100 dollars of my own money and if I reach 500 dollars I will die my hair pink for the event anything helps

You know man I love your spirit and all but I kinda think that goal is a bit too high. More power to you if you can make it though!

[timberskaraWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

When a family arrives in Orlando, they are welcomed at the airport by one of our volunteer greeters. Traveling for any family can be overwhelming, so you can imagine how tough it is with a child who may be fragile or who requires medical equipment. Orlando is a pretty hectic airport, so our greeters meet the family and escort them to baggage claim and then to their mode of ground transportation.

Most GKTW families get the use of a rental vehicle for the week and the kids LOVE being told by our partners at National Car Rental that they can pick ANY car in the lot they want—mustang, minivan, convertible, you name it—in any color. If the parents are not old enough to rent a car or just prefer not to drive, MEARS transportation shuttles them around for the week.

GKTW has arrivals and departures each day; today we have 14 families flying in to start the best week of their lives.

^ That is awesome!

$8 was just donated to four random people in need of the $75 limit.

Jason/Chad - thanks for the details on CW and WoF. I just added it to the first page of the thread

Very cool Kara, thanks for all the insight into how the facility works and what all of the money is going towards.

Adam, why would you tell someone their goal is too high!?!?!? The whole idea of a goal is to put something far away but in reach, I have full faith in all of our participants that they'll exceed their goals!
