Event overview

We are heading out to The Sunshine Foundation on March 3 in the afternoon to complete a list of projects for the Dream Village that we want to complete for 2023.

About The Sunshine Foundation (Proudly Partnering with The Mission Continues since 2022)

The Sunshine Foundation answers the dreams of chronically ill, physically challenged, and abused children ages 3-18, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to the financial strain that their child's illness may cause. Sunshine Foundation is a national wish-granting organization that answers the dreams of children that have a chronic, life-long illness or medical condition rather than a critical or life-threatening diagnosis. The disadvantaged children we serve are from income-limited families and suffer from chronic conditions including spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome, profound low-functioning autism, brain, and spinal injuries, Type 1 diabetes, post-traumatic stress disorder, injury from abuse, and many others.

We are planning for a large group of volunteers for this event. When registering please sign The Sunshine Foundation Waiver located here:
