Give Kids the World Tour #gktwbash2013

By Mark Baratelli

Give Kids the World invited us to tour their facility in Kissimmee on Thursday September 12, 2013. 

Give Kids The World is a non-profit organization that exists only to fulfill the wishes of all children with life-threatening illnesses and their families from around the world to experience a memorable, joyful, cost-free visit to the Central Florida attractions, and to enjoy the magic of Give Kids The World Village for as long as there is a need. 

The event's hashtag was #gktwbash2013 and below are photos from the event:
