Camp, Children's Cancer Foundation, United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Florida, Give Kids The World, and Carver Middle School, are groups that assist children in need within our diverse community. We hope that all children that have been affected by life threatening diseases are able to live a full life in spite of the challenges they face.” A portion of the auction proceeds will benefit Courtney’s Wish, which was founded in honor of Courtney Wolfe. Wolfe was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in August of 2009 and has been fighting the devastating disease for nine months.
