Our Mission - SERIOUS FUN
At Kidd’s Kids, our primary goal is to provide chronically ill
and/or physically challenged children (ages 5 to 12) with an
unforgettable adventure! Throughout the year, we work hard to raise
the funds necessary to send these special kids on an all-expenses
paid, fun-filled, vacation to Walt Disney World ® in Florida. Most
of our funding comes from donations made by listeners to the Kidd
Kraddick In The Morning radio show, corporate sponsors, and various
fundraising events.
Each year, we sponsor approximately 40-50 children and their
families (including siblings between the ages of 5 and 16) for the
trip, or as many as the Kidd’s Kids Board may deem appropriate
under the circumstances. The Board will work with such sources as
it deems appropriate to select children based upon the nature and
severity of their illnesses, their ages, and the status of their
financial needs.
All aspects of the trip are coordinated by Kidd’s Kids. All funds
raised go directly to cover the cost of sending the children and
their families to Walt Disney World®, administrative expenses of
Kidd’s Kids, and to sustain an endowment fund for the purpose of
providing long-term growth and stability for the charitable
programs of the Kraddick Foundation dba Kidd’s Kids.
