Nicholas spots Jiminy Cricket


Nicholas (5 years old) arrived full of energy. He ran into his room of the Lighthouse Cottage and his eyes lit up as he spotted Jiminy Cricket. He immediately grabbed him and started jumping up and down on the bed. Jiminy Cricket just happens to be his favorite Disney character. Nicholas decided to take a dip in the handicap-accessible pool at the Dream Village when his older brother wanted to swim. Both Nicholas and his 7 year old brother have severe Autism. Their sister Alissa, Aunt Linda and Mom also came down from Harleysville, PA for their dream-come-true trip. They experienced one day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, one at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and one at SeaWorld.


Please help answer the dream of a child like Nicholas. The Sunshine Foundation serves children who are chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged or abused. Please call us at 863-424-4188 or 800-457-1976 or visit www.sunshinefoundation.org to find out how you can help.

Moose on Bikes for Sunshine!

A total of 70 Moose Riders from Haines City participated in a Poker Run for the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village recently. They had 5 stops at member’s homes: Stop #1 was at Gary and Maggie Cassen, Stop #2 was at Walt and Karen Crosthwaite, Stop #3 was at Billy and Marsha Jones, Stop #4 was at Wormy & Beth Shelnutt and the last stop was at Dave and Diana Schwartz. Representatives from the Florida Bermuda Moose on Bikes District 20 presented a check to Rich Mergo, Director of Development, for $1,200.00. They also enjoyed a tour of the Dream Village and its fairytale themed cottages. .



The Sunshine Foundation answers dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children.
