“Welcome to the most magical place on earth” you’ll often read or hear as you enter Walt Disney World Resort. Everyone can agree that there’s a certain excitement, happiness, and nostalgic feeling when seeing the characters and the rides. No matter how many times we’ve done it or how old we’ve become, that magical feeling we experience remains the same.

A few months ago, a colleague of mine approached me to get involved with the Special Children’s Center. Not knowing much about the organization, I decided to pay them a visit. From the second I walked in to the building, that nostalgic, magical feeling filled my body. The music, dancing, excitement, and happiness emanated throughout the center’s halls. These children were indeed special-better and greater than anyone I’ve ever met. They understood the true meaning of happiness in life, and the simplicity associated with it. Their smiles radiated on their faces, and I felt like I was truly in the “most magical place on earth.”

As I sat around a table with our committee, which is comprised of amazing young leaders aging from 14-22, I thought about my visit. We wanted to organize an event that would capture and reflect the happiness and excitement that fills the Special Children’s Center every single day. We came up with, what we believe, will be the most amazing event the community has ever experienced-the Special Run.

The Special Run is a walk or run (your choice!) that is filled with beaming lights, pumping music and other awesome glow in the dark features. It is an opportunity for you to share an epic night with your friends and family, while celebrating a very special cause. It will be an emotional, and exciting night you’ll never forget. We will be having glow in the dark face paint for our pre-party, and an awesome post-run celebration for our after-party!

The Special Children’s Center is an organization dedicated to the special needs community. Servicing over 450 families, the Center’s mission is to be there for these special kids and their families 24/7, 365 days a year. Their programs include after-school programs, Sunday programs, summer camp, Disney World trip, vocational programs for adults, and a host of other activities dedicated towards helping these beautiful children.

As we plan to open a second home in Brooklyn, we ask for your help in spreading awareness and expanding our efforts. Help us be there for these children and their families when no one else is.

If you want to sign up for the run or become a supporter, please visit thespecialrun.org. The Special Run will be held on Thursday Night, July 2nd in Monmouth University. JUST GET PUMPED!
