We are grateful to the cast of the Avengers for giving us their time and being part of this effort to cheer up and comfort children during a difficult time.
No one better than Disney understands the magic of experiences, and we are proud to have partnered with them for over 20 years to bring special moments to children in the hospital. From the delivery of gift packages in the hospital, to the storytelling through the virtual reality of the Starlight Xperience, through the recent Disney themed Starlight Gowns, millions of seriously ill children have benefited from our wonderful collaboration. And with this donation, even more children will be able to experience the magic of Disney.
