At Kidd�s Kids, the primary goal is to provide chronically ill and/or physically challenged children (ages 5 to 12) with an unforgettable adventure! Throughout the year, this organization works hard to raise the funds necessary to send these special kids on an all-expenses paid, fun-filled, vacation to Walt Disney World � in Florida. Most of the funding comes from donations made by listeners to the Kidd Kraddick In The Morning radio show, corporate sponsors, and various fundraising events.
All aspects of the trip are coordinated by Kidd�s Kids. All funds raised go directly to cover the cost of sending the children and their families to Walt Disney World�, administrative expenses of Kidd�s Kids, and to sustain an endowment fund for the purpose of providing long-term growth and stability for the charitable programs of the Kraddick Foundation. The Kraddick Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) organization, founded by nationally syndicated morning show personality Kidd Kraddick. The Kidd�s Kids program is based on the premise of making a difference in the lives of children with special medical needs.
The first Kidd�s Kids trip was to Sea World� in San Antonio and benefited five families. Due to the generosity of Kidd�s listeners and corporate donations, they now take over 50 families to Walt Disney World� in Florida each year. Many of the children selected for the trip have �fallen through the cracks� of other organizations that grant wishes or provide trips. During this five-day trip, which takes place every November, these kids and their families enjoy all the excitement that a Walt Disney World � / Kidd�s Kids vacation can offer. With that in mind, Kidd�s Kids covers all expenses including airfare to/from their local market to DFW, chartered jet to/from DFW to Orlando, hotel, park passes, all meals, transportation while in Florida, souvenirs, special private character visits and so much more! For many families with terminally ill or physically challenged children, this is a very rare opportunity to leave behind hospital and treatment centers to share laughter and fun in a magical environment.
