Bert's Big Adventure Taking Applications
Bert's Big Adventure is a non-profit organization designed to allow children stricken with a chronic illness and/or physical challenge, the opportunity to experience a weekend at Walt Disney World.

The 2014 Bert’s Big Adventure application process is now open to the public.
Bert’s Big Adventure is a non-profit organization, started by radio personality Bert Weiss, designed to allow children stricken with a chronic illness and/or physically challenged between the ages of 5 to 12 who prove financial need and live in the Bert Show radio listening areas, the opportunity to experience a magical weekend at Walt Disney World as the guests of the foundation.
Each year, the foundation will take these children to Walt Disney World with their parents and siblings. Because of their special needs and financial strain, this is an experience that many of these children and families would not be able to experience without the help of the foundation.
The vision of the foundation is to charter a flight for these children, their families and a medical staff to Walt Disney World. While in Florida, the foundation will provide hotel accommodations, Walt Disney World park passes, transportation to and from the park, and meal coupons and spending cash for these guests of the foundation.
In addition to the trip to Walt Disney World, Bert’s Big Adventure also provides the children certain additional charitable services that are necessary to the fulfillment of its charitable purpose. These additional charitable services are provided subsequent to any prior year’s trip and are available only to the children that have participated in the Walt Disney World trip.
