Adopt a Dream
YES. Your donation to Sunshine Foundation will support the dream of the child you select, along with a portion to cover administrative expenses to process the child’s dream. If the funding for that particular child’s dream exceeds the goal required to fulfill the dream, the additional funding will be used by the Sunshine Foundation to support another child on our waiting list. All donations are subject to the policies of the Sunshine Foundation.
Adopt a Dream is Sunshine Foundation’s program to help answer a child’s dream. The average cost of adopting a Special Dream Florida Theme Parks Trip is $5,500. You may also adopt a Special Dream at $2,200 or a Shopping Spree Dream at $1,100. (Goal amount includes a portion to cover administrative expenses to process the child’s dream).
