Walt Disney World Resort has kicked off its 50th Anniversary celebration. The Most Magical Celebration on Earth celebrates 50 years of magic-making in Central Florida. However, Disney doesn’t just make the magic inside its theme parks. Over the last 50 years, Disney has also actively contributed to the community around it.
Over the last five decades, Disney has given back to the people who give so much to the communities of Central Florida. These are the places where cast members of Walt Disney World Resort work and play when not at the parks. This is a tradition that is quite important to Disney and that continues to be a priority.
As Walt Disney World Resort celebrates 50 years of being a part of the community in Central Florida, it has granted $3 million to six local non-profits. These organizations help with important causes and make a major difference to the children and families Central Florida.
Disney released a video with Walt Disney World Resort President Jeff Vahle sharing about Disney’s donations to these very special and important organizations.
The six organizations that Walt Disney World Resort partners with in the community Give Kids The World Village, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Heart of Florida United Way, Hope Partnership, and ELEVATE Orlando. These organizations are making a difference to help make Central Florida’s future even better and brighter.
Disney didn’t just give money to these six organizations, though. They also gave them a spotlight and highlighted what they are doing on the Disney Parks Blog for the world to see. Below is a look at the six organizations that Disney granted money to:
