We have selected 3 charities from which to choose and your vote will determine how much each charity receives.The charities range in organization size as well as reach and mission. The 3 charities you have to choose from are:
The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida
Provides a “home-away-from-home” for families in medical crisis, providing shelter and food for those families. The RMHCCF opened it’s doors in December of 1996 and by 1998 began expansion as waiting lists were being filled. Three expansions and 12 years later and they are still expanding. Relying completely on charitable donations from the public, the “Houses that love built” have helped more than 16,000 families in Central Florida during times of need.

Give Kids the World

GKTW provides accommodations at its whimsical resort, donated attractions tickets, meals and more for a week-long, cost-free fantasy vacation.
