MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE FOR CHILDREN IN NEED OF HOPE
OUR MISSION
We started The Shine Time Foundation, in honor of our son, Maddox, who is a pediatric cancer survivor. We remember what it was like to be in the midst of tragedy and uncertainty after Maddox was diagnosed with advanced eye cancer at only 7 months old. During times like that in life, receiving encouragement from others can make all the difference. Our mission through The Shine Time Foundation is to reach out to families who are going through traumatic life circumstances and give them an experience that restores their hope.
We create customized “Dreams Come True Days” for children battling cancer or facing other life challenges. We design a themed celebration around the specific interests of each child, and cast them as a star in their own elaborate show. They step into a magical world where they interact with our cast and complete fun and exciting challenges. As they overcome certain obstacles during their journey, each child learns that anything is possible when they believe in themselves and their dreams! An inspirational script is written for each production. Messages of faith, hope, miracles and love are woven throughout each storyline. Whether it is a pirate defeating villains as he travels through the Land of Oz, or a beautiful princess exploring an underwater kingdom on her way to the Ball at the castle, we create a unique experience for each child that revolves around their passions and gives them an opportunity to focus only on the magic and joy surrounding them for that day.
