Did you know that every year in the US 27,000 children are diagnosed with a life threatening illness?
Give Kids The World is a non-profit organization that provides
week-long vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and
their families at a fanciful, “storybook” retreat in Central Florida.
Since 1986, GKTW has served more than 100,000
families from all 50 states and 70 countries. Families enjoy a
week-long, cost-free vacation that includes accommodations at the Give
Kids The World Village, meals, donated attraction tickets (including
Disney World), and more. They even get to eat ice cream
at breakfast!
For nearly 20 years, Perkins Restaurant & Bakery has supported GKTW. Each year, Perkins serves more than 200,000 free meals at the 200-seat Gingerbread House Restaurant, located in the heart of the Give Kids The World Village. Over the years, more than 4 million free meals have been served. In addition to annual fundraising efforts, ongoing activities for Give Kids The World include community-oriented events and specially marked coin boxes for spare change in the lobbies of most Perkins restaurants.
On
Monday, March 21, more than 420 participating Perkins restaurants
across the U.S. and Canada will be offering guests their legendary,
made-from-scratch buttermilk pancakes – for
free – during PERKINS PANCAKE DAY. In return, Perkins simply
requests that guests consider making a donation of any amount to benefit
Give Kids The World.
Will you join me in Paying it Forward and supporting Give Kids The World?
To celebrate Perkins would you like to send one reader a $50 gift card.

I think that the Give Kids the World program is wonderful. It is a place and time that families can focus on just themselves. Not the bills or medical treatments. That is priceless.
Hi and Happy Spring! :) I think what they do is terrific, just too bad I never heard of them until now. But, I do imagine that is why you're showing them on your blog today... :)

It's a great idea. It's nice too that they encourage volunteers, spring break volunteering for college students, voluntourism, etc.
