“If your coming to gay days how do you feel about a bunch of us getting together and volunteering at "Give Kids the World", and then we can "go out" afterwards.
It's a great chance for our group to do some good while we get to know each other, then we can go out and celebrate! http://www.gktw.org/
Give kids the world is a wonderful program that provides dream vacations to families with terminally ill children.”
OrlandoMike, this is the BEST idea I’ve heard on the DIS boards!
Do you have any details about the volunteer orientation they mention on their website? It says volunteer orientations are held 3-4 times each month. I filled out their online volunteer application. Perhaps a session near Gay Days for those of us out-of-towners could work? Getting a group organized could take some long-term planning. Depending on their response and our jumping into action, perhaps a few of us could test-the-water this year and then spread the word. I suspect that once I do this, I’ll make it an annual tradition. I could see lots of DISers finding this would become the highlight of their Disney experience. 
Their newsletter article of GE employees doing a group work day was inspirational. 
I haven’t noticed if the DIS boards already have an official charity, but they might be inspired to adopt “Give Kids the World” by publicizing any group event we establish. Alright, I see my imagination is ready to spring into action. Anyone else interested yet?
