Thank you for visiting the Donald Duck group fundraising page. Please whip out your debit/credit cards and sponsor us online. Large and wee amounts totally appreciated!
Every year Dreamflight sends a British Airways 747 with 192 seriously ill and needy children from across Scotland and the rest of the UK to spend 10 action packed days visiting the theme parks of Orlando, Florida. They include Magic Kingdom, Islands of Adventure, MGM, Seaworld, Universal Studio’s and swimming with the dolphins at Discovery Cove. A truly magical and memorable, once in a lifetime experience for every child.
As we plan for the next Dreamflight trip, I am proud and privileged to be a member of the Donald Duck group which covers the East Coast of Scotland and is based in Edinburgh. Our Flintstone friends cover the West coast of Scotland which means between both groups we take 32 children from across Scotland every year. As group leader I am very fortunate to have an excellent medical team which includes a Doctor, three Nurses’, Physiotherapist and other non-medical staff, all of whom give up their time and expertise for free.
While other charities may focus on funding research, we believe that it is just as important to bring some fun and joy into the lives of children who perhaps can't wait long enough for that breakthrough. We aim to make this truly special for all of the children on Dreamflight with a focus on our group in particular!! The other eleven groups across the UK each give their children a truly magical time as well.
The costs are enormous - in excess £600,000 per year, equating to £3,000 per child!
On this page, our sponsors can pay for their T shirts, giving Dreamflight the opportunity to reclaim the tax on the donations. All of the money donated goes directly to the children, who really do deserve this special holiday.
So where does the money go? £7.50 provides lunch and refreshments each day for a child and £200 allows a child to swim with the dolphins at Discovery Cove, a truly magical experience and £250 sponsors a set of T shirts for all of the members of the group for a day. On a larger scale - £1,200 provides each child with DVD of the holiday, personalized to each group, £13,000 sponsors a day's entry to the Magic Kingdom or Universal Studios, with £40,000 the cost of the Dreamflight dolphin encounter at Discovery Cove. A final mention to the £320,000 cost of chartering the British Airways 747!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Dreamflight will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you, just remember to tick the Gift Aid box.
