Bert’s Big Adventure (https://bertsbigadventure.org/) is dedicated to providing a magical all-expenses-paid, five-day journey to Walt Disney World for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

In the past four years, the Pro/Am has raised more than $15,000 for area cancer patients and the American Cancer Society.
