This year, we have chosen the  Give Kids the World Village (GKTW) as our NAPEO Gives Back partner! Give Kids the World Village is an extraordinary 85-acre resort in Kissimmee that provides magical theme park experiences to children with critical illnesses and their families. GKTW allows these kids to take a break from critical care treatments so that they can just be children, experiencing joy and making unforgettable memories

This year, NAPEO Gives Back will be raising funds for Give Kids the World Village to bring the joy of Christmas to critically ill children and their families year-round. We’ll do this through a remarkable initiative to install millions of LED lights throughout the village’s sprawling campus, creating a sparkling winter wonderland every day. With the “Power of Many,” we hope to raise $250,000 to bring the delight and wonder of the holiday season to children and families dealing with life-threatening illnesses, no matter the time of year to Illuminate Hope .
