Who We Support

We center our giving around five core values: Empowerment, Education, Wellness, Hunger and Hope.

Ace & TJ’s Grin Kids

Ace & TJ's Grin Kids is designed to enhance the lives of children in our listening areas who are terminally ill and chronically disabled, ages five through twelve, by treating them to "once in a life time" trip to Disney World. Each year, generally the first weekend in October, the Grin Kids organization charters a private jet and hosts qualified special needs children, along with their siblings, parents, and health care workers to Disney World in Florida. Because of their special needs and financial strain, this is an experience that many of selected Grin Kids and families would not be able to know without the help of Ace & TJ's Grin Kids charity. During the 5-day vacation, all expenses are paid, including air travel; private special needs ground transportation, Disney Park-Hopper passes, and meals, hotel rooms at a Disney Resort, and Disney Dollars for souvenirs. This year we will be traveling with a Pediatrician and three Registered Nurses on staff.

Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program. It costs $100 to feed one American school child in our program for an entire 38 week school year. Blessings in a Backpack is currently feeding nearly 76,000+ children in  700+ schools across 46 U.S. States and the District of Columbia and three countries. We are Feeding the Future of America® - one school at a time.
