Letters From The Heart!
A few special thank you notes from our Adventure Families. Without each donor, volunteers and partner we could not have provided hope, joy and laughter to children with life threatening illnesses and their families. Every gift large or small makes an impact.
Parent's Night Out
"One of the best adventures that comes along once a year, however, is when mom and dad get to go out to eat on their own. Not having to worry about paying for dinner and a movie is wonderful and a great escape. As my husband likes to say, "If mom's not happy, no one is happy." So, giving mom a night off from dinner and a movie date helps keep everyone happy!' - David & Kris Staverman

Dear AFWK,
Thank you so much for the Miracles & Magic show! I had a great time at it and my favorite part of the magic show was when it snowed! Thank you for all of the fun activities you provide for me. I feel special.
Love,
Madeline, 4 years old | | |
