About Night of a Million Lights:
- Give Kids The World Village closed to wish families in mid-March due to the global pandemic, delaying more than 4,000 wishes.
- Night of a Million Lights is designed to raise funds to ensure that the wishes of critically ill children can return bigger and better than ever before once the Village reopens.
A Good Cause:
- Proceeds from the event will support Give Kids The World’s mission to provide wish vacations for critically ill children and their families.
- When wish-granting organizations receive a request from a critically ill child who wants to visit Central Florida, Give Kids The World fulfills the wish – providing each child and his/her family with a magical week-long stay at absolutely no cost.
- Each family receives transportation, accommodations in one of the Village’s 166 storybook residential villas, all meals and snacks, nightly entertainment, tickets to Orlando’s world-class theme parks and attractions, and priceless interactive experiences at the Village.
- Since 1986, Give Kids The World has welcomed more than 176,000 families from 50 states and more than 76 countries.
