Kidd’s Kids was formed in 1991 by morning radio show host Kidd Kraddick.

Application for the 2024 Kidd’s Kids trip will be released on April 15th. Click HERE to apply or request an application.  

The application requires extensive and confidential information about the child’s illness, so a parent or legal guardian MUST be the person to submit an application. If you know of a deserving family, we encourage you to send an application to them!

Kidd’s Kids receives support from individual contributions, corporate donations, special event fundraisers and generous in-kind donations. Interested in becoming a partner? Check out our Partnership page.

Since 1991, Kidd’s Kids has provided a once in a lifetime experience for over 1,000 deserving children and their families.

There are several different ways to be involved with Kidd’s Kids! For information about joining our “Kidd’s Kids Crew”, please send us a note through our Contact form or give us a call.

No, a family is only eligible to attend a Kidd’s Kids trip once.

1) The child must be between the ages of 5 and 12 years old at the time of the trip.
2) The child must be diagnosed with a chronic/terminal illness OR be physically challenged OR have a catastrophic impairment due to a birth defect or accident.
3) The child and family must live in a Kidd Kraddick Morning Show listening area. “Listening area” is defined as being able to listen to the show on the radio in the family’s home city.
4) The family of the child nominated must show a financial need (being otherwise unable to afford a trip of this nature).

If a child has already received a wish that is something OTHER than a trip to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, they may still be eligible to attend a Kidd’s Kids trip. However, if a child has already been to Walt Disney World through another wish-granting organization, they are not eligible for Kidd’s Kids.
