DreamLift 2009 – a dream come true

December 11th, 2009 by Darrell Lum

dreamlift09bbCommunity Programs help organize the 2009 DreamLift event.  It was a day to remember for approximately 80 children from Canada (some in wheelchairs, some on crutches; all with serious and in some cases life threatening illness) as they arrived for a special day at the Magic Kingdom. Employees of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department took personal time to be the host for this event.  Escorts for the day, over one hundred employees from throughout the Department met the children as their plane arrived at the airport.  Volunteers’ tickets were generously provided by the Orange County Sheriff’s Advisory Council.  Sheriff volunteers, along with the personel from the Sunshine Foundation, help escort these special needs Canadian children for a dream come true visit at Disneyland.
