25 Days of Magic Annoucement

2020 has been a year like no other. So Inside the Magic wants to wrap up the year on a high note with the BEST 25 Days of Magic! Does that claim seem a little bold? You be the judge. During our 25 Days of Magic we will:

Give Away $20,000 in Prizes!

Donate $30,000 to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®

Support Small Businesses

Best of all you can help us accomplish these three objectives simply by entering to win as many giveaways as you want, plus telling your friends and family!

To Enter any of these giveaways please go to our Giveaway Page.

The Details

We are going to accomplish this with our 25 Days of Magic promotion running from December 1st to 25th. Each day, we will draw one or more winners for that day’s prize leading up to A Trip to Disney World! sweepstakes being held on Christmas Day!

Disney World Night

You can start entering some of the giveaways today. After this announcement, we will begin opening each of our giveaways over the course of the coming weeks. You can expect 4 – 5 giveaways opened for entries today, another handful tomorrow, and the next day until we’ve announced all 25.

Curiousity got the better of you? We are announcing 21 of the giveaways today (see below) even though you can’t enter some of these for a few more days. Our December 10th, 13th, 14th, and 16th prizes will be revealed last – no later than Thanksgiving Day. These three have been delayed to provide the opportunity for some additional prize sponsors to join the promotion. If one, two, or three more prize sponsors join, then the four prizes we already have lined up for those days will be combined into a single day.

We invite you to enter as many of these giveaways as you wish, and there is no purchase or donation required. The earlier you start entering, the more chances you will have to win.

Each individual sweepstakes will be shared initially on our Inside the Magic Merch Facebook page. Follow us on this newer Facebook page if you are a fan of Merchandise and Food. You can also bookmark our website’s giveaway page for each giveaway opportunity. On the subject of giveaway opportunities thru the end of day November 23rd, we have our final Mandalorian giveaway for the month of November.

$20,000 in Prizes!

We have some amazing partners who are assisting in this effort. These small businesses’ support made this prize list and promotion possible. Many of these businesses have supplied prizes from a variety of brands you know and love. Here are the various prize sponsors represented in our 25 Days of Magic.

$30,000 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® Donation

Every unique entry into one of our giveaways will result in $1 donated to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, up to $30,000! Let me say that again — simply by entering any (or all) of these sweepstakes, YOU will help provide life-saving care to children in need.

The total donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® is for the benefit of 3 different Children’s Hospitals. Those Hospitals are:

Best of all, if you help us go viral with this promotion and support our sponsors, we might be able to donate more than the $30,000 planned. Anything Inside the Magic collects (such as sponsor fees, affiliate commissions, etc.) during this promotion will also go to fund the work at these three hospitals.

You can join our effort in providing life-saving care to children in need by donating here and selecting the hospital of your choice.

Support Small Businesses

Last, but certainly not least, we encourage you to do your holiday shopping with our generous partners who not only donated these prizes for you but also are instrumental in our ability to donate so much money to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®. Here, again, are the actual sponsors we are asking you to support.

 

25 Days of Magic Prize Sponsors

These small businesses need your help this year, because just like for the rest of us, 2020 has been a difficult year for many of these businesses, too. With travel restricted and people out of work, holiday sales could make a huge difference this year for many businesses. Therefore, when you purchase from these businesses, you’re doing more than buying a gift this holiday season — you are helping businesses support their employees and their communities.

Additionally, you will notice links to products from other businesses not included in the list above such as shopDisney and Amazon. ALL affiliate fees and commissions Inside the Magic receives from these sales are being used to support & fund the donation to The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, and if we exceed $30,000 then our donation will also increase.

Why We Support The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®

We choose The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® to be our charity for this holiday promotion for a very personal reason. The Children’s Hospital holds a special place in our hearts because of our son, and we want to share our story.

In 2006, my wife, Jennifer, and I became parents when our son, Jacob, was born at The Children’s Hospital at Providence in Anchorage, Alaska. He was born 11 weeks premature — and even though he didn’t get his happily ever after, in the 10 days he lived (entirely at The Children’s Hospital) we got to see firsthand the amazing work of the doctors and nurses who cared for him.

Multiple life-saving surgeries were performed during Jacob’s short life, and among my most memorable experiences during that time was how the medical staff cared for the adults and parents, in addition to the children in their care.

I recall one particular day as we were changing Jacob’s diaper for the first time. Imagine, if you can, that exercise with a tiny premature baby as you are reaching through the infant incubators found in most hospital NICUs.

Suffice to say, we made a mess, but it was comical leading to our best laugh of the entire 10 days. At the hospital, the doctors kept a journal of each child’s progress that parents could read whenever they wished. The next day, when we read about our own laughter and experience in that journal, it sunk in. Children’s Hospital cares for more than children; they care for parents, too.

A man greeting a girl

But my wife and I are not alone in our experience with The Children’s Hospital. Fast forward to today, and there are thousands of parents, many of them Cast Members (both former and current), whose sons and daughters are also receiving care at a Children’s Hospital every single day. We selected these three Children’s Hospitals (Arnold Palmer, CHOC, and Providence) so that the families of Cast Members and other families who live near Walt Disney World or Disneyland could share in the same support that was so critical when my family needed it.

While this fundraiser was inspired by Jacob’s life and the care he received, my family’s story is not unique. Childhood ailments of all types inspire a community of supporters.

Another powerful story comes from Karli, the daughter of Jay & Karen Leonard. Jay is the General Manager of Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs Resort (one of our prize & donation sponsors). We’ve included the video below for you to watch this first-hand account from Karli of her care:

Karli Leonard’s Story from Arnold Palmer/Winnie Palmer/HPC on Vimeo.

Karli is a Pediatric Cancer Survivor. Her inspiring story gives us encouragement and hope. As we structured this promotion, supporting the three Children’s Hospitals was at the core of what we are doing. But we intentionally did not go the route of a raffle, because 2020 has been a year that has been tough on so many of us.

We encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation to The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® using this link if you are able to. It would be wonderful if we raised more than $30,000. But even if you can’t donate, please spread the word. Every person who enters means our donation increases by another $1 up to $30,000.

Please also support our partners this holiday season. This year has proven that we are stronger together, and these businesses are showing through their partnership that we can collectively achieve amazing results.
