It's CHRISTMAS IN JULY !! 🎄

This year, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to do any of our usual hospital visits and we are also unable to receive any actual toys.

But do not worry, we are gearing up for our December visits and we can use your help as always.

Instead of sending toys this July, you can help us with a monetary donation.

To donate online, go to:

* Choose: MCO-Orlando, FL (Coordinator: Van Sprang)

Thank you !!

Christmas in July 2021

It's Christmas in July !! 🎄And we were very honored that we were the first volunteer group allowed back into the hospital at AdventHealth for Children Orlando Hospital. Last year we did a curb-side drop off, and this year we were able to visit with the kids and help out Santa with his summer toy distribution. What a great day ! Thank you to everyone that has donated so far to our Christmas in July Toy Drive !

Christmas in July 2019

Why wait for December when you can celebrate Christmas in July ?? Santa came down to Orlando and beaches to lounge in his hammock and take a well deserved break. But Santa also worked during his vacation, and joined Captain Baldy and the Orlando PFK group to visit the Ronald McDonald house at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, and the Advent Health Hospital for Children. A delicious lunch was served by our Pilots, who proved that they have some hidden serving talents too ! We also donated around 150 toys to the kids in the hospital. THANK YOU to all that donated, we had a great Christmas in July ! 🎄💙
