Winding Down the Give a Day ~ Get a Disney Day Program
by Nathan C. Splant Foundation, Inc. on 

On February 11, it was announced that 600,000 volunteers have already participated in the Give a Day ~ Get a Disney Day program.  Thanks to the exceptional programs and opportunites provided by the thousands of participating organizations, it's anticipated that the program is forecasted to come to a close very shortly.  The following measures are being taken in preparation for the program's conclusion:

  •  Effective immediately, no new applications will be accepted to participate in the program.
  • On Friday, March 5, all volunteer opportunities for the Nathan C. Splant Foundation have been removed from the search at www.DisneyParks.com.
  • Only volunteeers who have completed the registration and expressed interest in an opportunity prior to March 5 can still complete the sign-up process until the one million ticket goal has been reached.  Volunteers should follow the instructions and click on the link in the e-mail they received from HandOn Network when you first expressed interest in your volunteer opportunity (i.e. Racing for Babies, Great Cell Phone Drive, Spring into Aciton).

 

We would like to say "Thank You" for your participation and volunteering your time to the Nathan C. Splant Foundation.

Give a Day - Get a Disney Day
by Nathan C. Splant Foundation, Inc. on 

 

The Nathan C. Splant Foundation is a participating organization for Give a Day ~ Get a Disney Day and we want to inspire you to volunteer a day of service to your local community.  So we're celebrating these volunteers' good works by giving each of them a 1-day, 1-theme park ticket to the Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort, FREE.
 
If you've never volunteered before or are a seasoned volunteer, this is a fabulous opportunity to Make a Difference in your community and earn a FREE PASS to any Disney Park.  If you are under the age of 18 you must have a parent or guardian volunteer with you to qualify and we are promoting family volunteering, although individuals over the age of 18 can earn the pass as well.  You MUST log on to www.DisneyParks.com to search for and sign up for an opportunity with the Nathan C. Splant Foundation or a organization of your choice.
 
Once you have completed the service, the agency will confirm your participation and the FREE PASS will be sent to you.  Don't wait...once 1 million passes have been given out nationally, the promotion will end.

Message from the Founders

Message from the Founders

 

During the holiday season, more than ever, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made the Nathan C. Splant Foundation possibleThis web site is dedicated to helping local families affected by prematurity.  The site was created as a result of our personal journey and experiences of the very early birth of our son, Nathan.  We came to realize that mom and dads needed a resource to help with the everyday life changes of those born too early and too small.

 

The web site is your resource for tips, support, and offers a forum for you to share your story with other parents.

 

The Foundation’s Racing for Babies, Riding for Babies and Prematurity Awareness Campaign, continue to enhance the lives of those touched by prematurity with our grant giving program.  We have also continued to provide funding earmarked towards prematurity research.

 

We want to thank our corporate and individual donors and friends for all of your support in attending our events, as well as for continually sharing your thoughts of good wishes and suggestions which enable us to better serve the local community.  Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of premature children and their families.

 

We look forward to years of continued success and giving back to the community.

 

Best wishes for the Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Phil, Kim and Nathan
