ENTRIES
Purchases of FARF (Fanconi Anemia Research Fund) merchandise made through this website according to the product descriptions on the product page will earn automatic sweepstakes entries. As is required for most sweepstakes, there is a way to enter without cost. Please see the "About" page for details. The families who collaborated to donate the prize have all been affected by a particularly cruel disease called Fanconi Anemia. 100% of all proceeds (net of credit card processing costs) will be donated to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, to support their dual missions of scientific research and family support.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I WIN?
I'll contact you the night of the drawing (July 22) by email. After that, I'll work with you to plan your trip! You identify the week of travel and we'll find flights that fit your schedule. Hotel availability will depend on the week you choose, of course, but we'll work together to find one that's convenient and fits your travel party best. Both Disney and Universal visits work best with some advance planning, and based on your travel party's preferences, we'll work together to plan the ultimate visit for you!
CAN I GIVE THE TRIP TO SOMEONE ELSE IF I WIN?
Sure! It's your trip, and it should be used however you want! It would make an excellent gift for a child/grandchild, I think!
WHAT IF WE HAVE MORE/FEWER THAN 4 PEOPLE?
No problem! If you've got more than 4, part of the prize is spending money--that could accommodate extra people if you chose to do so. If you've got fewer, I'd be happy to increase the spending money to reflect the saved cost of ticket purchases (or you could bring a friend!)
HOW ARE YOU PAYING FOR THIS?
I'm obsessive about earning credit card points. It's one of the few things in the world at which I truly excel. Because of that, I'm able to get a really nice trip for someone at a pretty substantial discount, while maintaining maximum flexibility for the traveler. We could have just donated the cost of the trip to FARF, but instead, we thought we could raise more money this way.
WHY ORLANDO?
Disney World has always been a special place for our family. Our experience is that having a wheelchair in most public places is a significant burden. The Disney transportation options and the design of the Disney parks are unparalleled in terms of disability accommodation (in our opinion). So, when we vacationed, that's where we went. It's fitting that to honor our daughter's memory, we want to send one family to that special place for a dream vacation.
