Since launching in 2021, we've unlocked 28,489 experiences.
Every one of those moments, from a day at the theme park to a first trip to a stadium, was made possible by donors, corporate partners and experience providers who believe families shouldn't miss out.

We keep two separate bank accounts: one for operational costs (funded by corporate sponsorships and grants) and one exclusively for funding experiences. Every personal donation goes directly to tickets and outings.
