Make Our Buddies' Dreams Come True!

We are the Best Buddies chapter at Kingwood Park High School. KPHS Best Buddies is part of a nonprofit 501(c)(3) (Federal Tax ID# 52-1614576) global organization of volunteers and students dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships between students with disabilities and other students in their school. Best Buddies also offers students a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills. With the support of school faculty and Best Buddies staff, students lead and direct the chapter at our school. Best Buddies helps us make a difference in someone else's life and our own, and we become role models for the rest of our school.
 
We are fundraising for what will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a great number of our students: a trip to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando! Typically, our students with intellectual and developmental disabilities are not able to go on school trips without their parents because of their special needs. We want to give our students that quintessential experience and adventure of a class trip that other high school students might take for granted.

We are planning our trip for June 12^th-17^th, 2014. Any assistance that can be offered would be greatly appreciated to help us make our kids' dreams come true by giving them this magical experience.
