While we are spending this weekend celebrating the magic of 30 years of EPCOT, we want to share that magic in our own way.  For that reason, we have worked with the close friends of WDW Radio to assemble this wonderful assortment of merchandise and experiences for you to bid on.  Your charitable contributions will help us to help childrens’ dreams come true.

If you are interested in bidding on this item (or experience), post a comment in the blog, which includes your bid price. The highest bid price as of 11:00 PM EDT on Sunday, September 30 will win that auction. ALL monies raised through each of the forty auction items will be donated to the Make A Wish Foundation.

Our goal, through these charitable auctions, is to make a dream come true for a family facing enormous emotional and financial challenges.  While money will never erase the emotional scars, hopefully we can help to build family memories that will help to heal the heartache of seeing a sick child.

You don’t need to bid on an auction item to help us to make the dreams of children come true.   You can make a donation to support the Make A Wish Foundation by making a secure donation through this our secure link on The Dream Team Project page on the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America site
