The Peter Pan Foundation (www.thepeterpanfoundation.com) was set up with the goal of providing disadvantaged children with holiday memories. Each year the Foundation chooses to focus on a group of children facing unique challenges and hosts four events during that year designed to provide holiday fun and lasting memories of Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Summer Vacation.There have always been organizations out there to provide the necessities of life to disadvantaged children. The Foundation felt that what was lacking was an organization that was dedicated to providing kids with the magical experiences that are connected to certain times of the year and should be a part of every happy childhood. Too often, through no fault of their own, kids are forced to grow up too fast and forgo the wonder of childhood.
