Every Bert’s Big Adventure family deserves a Fairy Godparent!
What began in 2003 as a magical trip to Walt Disney World for six families now provides year-round support programs and three reunion adventures for our children with chronic and/or terminal illnesses and their family members. Bert’s Big Adventure, founded by Bert Weiss of The Bert Show on Q100 (99.7 FM) and his wife Stacey, has grown over the last nine years into one of the top children’s organizations in metro Atlanta. We couldn’t be more proud of what we have accomplished in such a short time. Currently serving 110 families, we are in need of additional help to continue to provide the best service to these deserving individuals on a year round basis. Thus, we have launched the following volunteer program.
The Fairy Godparent Volunteer Program, sponsored by Carter’s Babies & Kids/Osh KoshB’Gosh, will allow Bert’s Big Adventure families to be visited on a daily basis when their child is admitted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Children’s) at either the Egleston or Scottish Rite campus. A team has been put into place so that when the organization is notified that a child has been admitted, the head Fairy Godparent will schedule volunteer visits throughout the child’s stay. These visits last approximately 1-2 hours. Bert’s Big Adventure will provide each volunteer with resources so that gifts, necessities and food can be provided on each visit.
Fairy Godparent Volunteer Program Mission:
The Bert’s Big Adventure Fairy Godparent volunteer program supports the organization’s families when a Bert’s Big Adventure child is admitted to a partner hospital. The Fairy Godparent volunteers visit the children daily and provide magical moments during a trying time.
