Night of a Million Lights, a spectacular holiday event filled with dancing light displays, a tram tour, and exclusive behind the scenes experiences, needs your help! As a fundraiser for Give Kids The World, they need volunteers to serve food, park cars, scan tickets, and more!
Give Kids The World (also called The Village or GKTW), a local nonprofit organization, provides week-long magical vacations for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Working in conjunction with organizations like Make A Wish and Walt Disney World, Give Kids The World creates truly unforgettable memories at all the Central Florida theme parks and other attractions around the area. Paired with the unparalleled entertainment and amenities found at the Village itself, GKTW families are truly given a week of no worries and all fun!
Volunteers for Night of a Million Lights must be at least 12 with those between the ages of 12-15 accompanied by an adult volunteer. Be advised that participants are required to be fully vaccinated. Volunteers are needed throughout the duration of the event, from previews and set up beginning tomorrow, November 9th, to the end of the event’s run on January 2nd. Individuals, families, and social/corporate groups are welcome! To register, please visit https://www.gktw.org/volunteer/apply.php
“Children with critical illnesses face countless appointments, treatments and hospital stays, and they are often told “no” due to the limitations of their illness. We feel privileged to give wish children and their families a week of “yes” where they can forget their worries, experience joy, and spend precious time together,” said Give Kids The World President and CEO Pamela Landwirth. “We look forward to welcoming volunteers to the Village for a truly one-of-a-kind experience that will help us to continue creating the happiness that inspires hope for wish families.”
As someone who has previously given their time to GKTW, I can tell you that volunteering with this organization is a great way to give back, get your volunteer hours for school, meet new friends, and experience a truly one-of-a-kind organization! I encourage you to visit the website and sign up for a volunteer shift!
