It's been three years since SWFL experienced unimaginable losses. At the same time, we saw helpers and leaders rise to bring relief and hope to their neighbors. It is a bittersweet memory for us all.

One of the most rewarding aspects of working in the media industry is the opportunity to bring joy to deserving members of our community. Neapolitan Family was fortunate to acquire tickets for Disney On Ice at Hertz Arena a few weeks ago. In addition to awarding free tickets to a few very lucky contest winners, we were able to donate a block of seats to Valerie's House. Valerie's House is a special place where children connect with one another and learn the tools to heal after they have experienced the death of someone they love. We are so grateful that they shared photos from this very special adventure, and that for a few moments they experienced the magic and joy of meeting their favorite Disney characters.

Last year, we were thrilled to send groups from Avow Kids and Easterseals Florida to a different Disney on Ice tour.

Next up: If you know a special group of older children or youth who would like to experience the excitement of a Florida Everblades game, please send an email with their story to [email protected].
