Nestled in the heart of Kissimmee, Fla., you may find yourself inside a quaint little village — one that is home to a castle tower, whimsical villas, and even a pirate ship. On the outside, this may look like the location of a children’s fantasy novel, but inside is a robust organization dedicated to making family’s dreams come true. The Give Kids the World Village is a non-profit organization dedicated to give children in critical condition the chance to visit the attractions in Central Florida.
Give Kids the World Village has opened registration for its fourth-annual Challenge for Hope 5K fun run. The 5K race had previously given people a rare opportunity to run (or stroll) through the whimsical village where children with critical illnesses stay when they have a wish to visit any of Central Florida’s world-class attractions. However, because the Village closed in March due to COVID-19, the 2020 Challenge for Hope has shifted to an entirely virtual event.
There’s no disguising the fact that many of our attractions and businesses have suffered badly during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is equally true that our tourist industry has found ways to cope and find new paths for navigating the current crisis. Some, though, need extra help to ensure they can come back as strong and vital as when they were forced to shut down, and this is especially true of the Give Kids the World Village in Kissimmee.
Give Kids the World Village has shared a statement from Pamela Landwirth, CEO and President, that the nonprofit will remain closed due to unforeseen circumstances as a result of COVID-19.
