So, there you have it, folks! I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who donated items to this year's auction. As you can see, there is quite a selection to choose from, and we couldn't have done it without the help of everyone who made a donation, bought a wish-list item, or became a Sponsor. Thank you!!


Also, a big THANK YOU to the wrapping weekend team: April, Janet, Lori, Meg, Tracy and Lou. It's a lot of work to turn these bags of items into beautiful baskets, and these people put in long hours and didn't complain (much ) and made it so much fun to do.


Don't forget, this isn't the only way to help out the Dream Team Project!

- At MagicMeets, Tim Devine of The Magic In Pixels is donating a portion of all his sales made at his table during auction hours (9 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.). If you'll be at the meet, please stop by his table, and check out his beautiful photographs, and know that your purchase can help a child smile.


- If you won't be attending MagicMeets, listen to the WDW Today live podcast! And while you're at it, get your name announced "live on the air" for making a donation to The Dream Team Project's firstgiving.com/dwtdreamteam page. All donations made at firstgiving.com/dwtdreamteam between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on July 19th will be counted in the total amount raised.

Thank you for helping make children's wishes come true!
