 This benefit concert is for Give Kids the World Foundation.
Give Kids the World Village is a 70 acre, non-profit resort that creates magical memories for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Give Kids the World provides accommodations at its whimsical resort, donated attractions tickets, meals and more for a week-long, cost-free fantasy vacation. With the help of many generous individuals, corporations, and partnering wish-granting organizations, GKTW has welcomed over 75,000 families from all 50 states and more than 50 countries.
Over 25,000 children each year are diagnosed with a life threatening illness, and when given the opportunity more than half wish to visit Central Florida attractions. GKTW Village is the only resort of its kind world-wide that can fulfill this ever increasing need.
Mission
Give Kids The World is a non-profit organization that exists only to fulfill the wishes of all children with life-threatening illnesses and their families from around the world to experience a memorable, joyful, cost-free visit to the Central Florida attractions, and to enjoy the magic of Give Kids The World Village for as long as there is a need.
100,000 children have had their dream come true at Give Kids The World. No child in need has ever been turned away – and no child ever will. Give Kids The World is a place where families find joy, laughter, serenity, and a lifetime of memories. Through the tireless support of our volunteers, employees and generous partners, we dedicate each and every day to these special families.
President’s Welcome
The Give Kids The World experience is all about saying yes to families who all too often hear and have to say no.
Do you want to have ice cream for breakfast? How about Christmas every Thursday and video games and miniature golf as often as you’d like?
Imagine coming to a Village where the answer to these and many other questions is always “yes!” That is exactly what awaits the families of children with life-threatening illnesses who wish to visit all of Central Florida’s best-loved attractions.
We recently had the honor of being highlighted on the Today Show and correspondent Jenna Hager truly captured the Village’s spirit of happiness and hope in this feature.
You can help us say yes to ice cream, gifts, and much more by helping spreading the word and getting your tickets for this charity fundraiser concert.
With Love,
Pamela Landwirth

About Tramps Like Us:
Tramps Like Us brings more than 2 decades of road-tested musicianship that have won this band the hard-earned distinction of the planet’s most revered Bruce Springsteen Tribute band. Given high praise by dozens of publications, radio stations, music industry personal, and the ONLY tribute band to be endorsed by members of "The Springsteen Camp" such as former producer and manager Mike Appel and the official Springsteen Radio Station: E Street Radio / /Sirius XM. (listen & read reviews here)
Rockers and ballads delivered with the raw intensity and swagger reminiscent of the Boss himself. Formed in 1990, and featuring a line up of seasoned and professional musicians with a repertoire of over 100 songs, Tramps Like Us has been dedicated to enjoying and sharing Bruce's music in a live setting.
The group captures the classic Springsteen sound, and remains true to the spirit and energy of the music, while delivering them with the passion and conviction of the Boss. Unlike other "tribute" bands who attempt to impersonate or emulate their source in every respect, from looks to clothing to gestures, Tramps Like Us concentrates on the music itself.
