MYTH BUSTER!

MAGICAL DAYS OUT

& TRAVEL GRANTS

OUTREACH &

CHARITY PARTNERS

We aim to provide tickets and travel grants to seriously ill, disabled and disadvantaged children across the world, to

give them the chance to enjoy a day out at a Merlin

Entertainments attraction.

For children unable able to visit our attractions we visit them in

hospitals and at other charitable organizations.

SOME OF

OUR LOCAL

PARTNERS

Sacrificial service is at the core of Make-A-Wish.

With the help of thousands of volunteers, this

non-profit is able to “grant the wish” of children

diagnosed with a life threatening medical

condition. At their core, Make-A-Wish believes

that bringing a wish to life can be a “game

changer” and has the potential to enrich the

human experience, impacting the lives of all

those involved.

The lives of youth, who are often abandoned and

abused by their families, are positively

transformed through CASAS, Court Appointed

Special Advocates, of Voices For Children. These

CASA volunteers are the mouthpiece for foster

children and advocate that every needy child

deserves a safe and enduring home. In order to

enhance the quality of life for these children,

Voices For Children actively increases

awareness about the foster care system.

In the middle of a 79 acre plot of land, lies a resort,

Give Kids The World Village. Here, the non-profit is

able to gift children with life threatening illnesses

and their families’ accommodations in furnished

villas, transportation, tickets to theme parks, meals,

daily entertainment and much more. Give Kids The

World acts as a helping hand in making sure that the

deserving families who come and visit have

everything they need to make a memorable vacation

that they will always remember.

Rady’s mission is “To restore, sustain and enhance the

health and developmental potential of children through

excellence in care, education, research and advocacy.”

The hospital fiercely pursues this mission via partnering

up with world renowned institutions, such as UC San

Diego and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, to

collaborate and conduct clinical research. In the city of

San Diego, Rady’s happens to be the only hospital

dedicated solely to pediatric healthcare and the regions

only pediatric trauma center. In 2015 alone, Rady’s

provided care to 214,216 children in Southern California

LLCR & RADY CHILDREN’S CHADWICK CENTER

Our outreach initiative delivers tailor-made installations to local organizations

that work with children who otherwise would be unable to experience the

Merlin Magic.
