In 2012, the last weekend of September will be dedicated to celebrating the 30th anniversary of EPCOT. However, it also represents the continuation of a special effort on the part of the WDW Radio community: to help children with life-threatening illnesses and their families to experience the magic of a Disney vacation.
Last year, our first online auction garnered over $17,000.00 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, through our Dream Team Project and we are hoping to do even more this year!
To date, the Dream Team Project has raised over $250,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, though our work has just begun. We have assembled a wide variety of gifts and experiences for you to bid on, as a way of celebrating the Disney spirit. Proceeds will be given to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Our auction will begin at [12:00]PM ET Friday, September 28 and continues until [11:00]PM ET Sunday, September 30.
How to Bid: If you are interested in bidding on an item or experience, post a comment in that individual item’s blog, which includes your bid price. The highest bid price as of [11:00] PM ET on Sunday, September 30 will win that auction.
The auction total will be announced during a special WDW Radio LIVE on the morning of October 1. Please consider supporting our efforts. “Because you can’t smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.”
Special Thanks to the many individuals who contributed to this auction, including: Emma Godbold, Angeline Mulet-Marquis, Annie Tennis, Simon Phipps, Beci Mahnken & MEI-Mouse Fan Travel, Michelle Tate Young, John Donaldson, Fran Cassano, Disney Senior Character Artist Brian Blackmore, Steve Barrett, Greg McCullough, Happy Keller, Gary Dexter, Phil & Mary Jo Kleckner, Disney Legend Bob Gurr
