The foundation's Mercer County chapter raises money all year long to make possible a whirlwind, one-day trip to Walt Disney World for special needs children, and those with serious, chronic illnesses.

The Sunshine Foundation was founded by former Philadelphia police officer Bill Sample back in 1976.
