Give Kids the World Fundraiser

Good morning! I work for Uno Chicago Grill in Fruitland and we are hosting a fundraiser on Saturday July 30th for an organization called Give Kids the World . This non-profit organization is located in Central Florida. It gives children of terminal illnesses and their families an all expenses paid vacation in Orlando. Give Kids the World Village is a 70-acre whimsical resort that provides beautiful accommodations, unlimited ice cream and activities and venues for all to enjoy. Families are also given tickets to Orlando attractions such as SeaWorld Orlando, Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World. An estimated 27,000 children will be diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses this year. Since 1986, they have hosted over 106,103 children and families from all over the world and in 2010, 114 families from Maryland went to the village. This organization is close to me because when I worked at Walt Disney World, I volunteered at the village! I have seen how magical and inspiring this organization is! At the Give Kids the World Village, children can eat ice cream at any time of day. They host "Ice Cream for Breakfast Socials" in the resort each week. Now, Give Kids the World is hosting a nationwide fundraiser in which businesses all around the country are having their own "Ice Cream for Breakfast" socials! Uno Chicago Grill is hosting our own social on Saturday July 30th from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Our exciting event features a three dollar TCBY  hand scooped frozen yogurt and ice cream toppings bar, raffle prizes including four box seat tickets to any Delmarva  Shorebirds regular 2011 season home game, complimentary moon bounce donated by Rommel's ACE hardware  and an in-house fundraiser. One hundred percent of all funds raised will be donated to Give Kids the World Village. Uno Chicago Grill and I would love to have SBYNEWS  do a story of our event and list our event in your weekly community events calendar. I have attached our business donation letter, standard press release from Give Kids the World and demographics chart. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank You
