MAKE ‘m SMILE is the BIGGEST Party celebrating kids with all types of disabilities, of all ages!
MAKE ‘m SMILE is filled with family entertainment, games, characters, petting zoos, food, helpful resources from the community, a friendship stroll, and tons of SMILES!
MAKE ‘m SMILE is happening in Orlando this Saturday, May 6, 2023 at Lake Eola Park.
If you have a VIP or you know families who have kids or adults with special needs, invite them to join the fun! If not, that’s OK! Bring your family and have a blast making new friends as a Buddy to a VIP!
VIPs are individuals of all ages with any type of disability. Nathaniel's Hope affectionately call them VIPs because every life has Value and Incredible Purpose. This is a day to celebrate life and the unique abilities of every VIP!
The signature event in Orlando draws crowds of over 35,000 and started as a way to remember the birthday of Nathaniel's Hope founders’ (Tim & Marie Kuck) son, Nathaniel, on June 6.
Nathaniel’s Hope is dedicated to celebrating kids with special needs (VIP kids), as well as educating and equipping the community to provide practical assistance to VIPs and their families.
Nathaniel's Hope celebrates kids with special needs, our VIPS of all ages as well as educates and equips the community and churches with training and programs to assist and enrich the lives of VIP families!
VIP kids are kids with any special needs including any physical, cognitive, medical or hidden disability, chronic or life threatening illness, or those who are medically fragile.
Buddies are friends with VIPS!
Nathaniel's Hope began in Orlando, but serves VIPS from all 50 states and 12 countries through our VIP Membership Birthday Club.
In partnership with local churches Nathaniels Hope is building a national network of Buddy Break respite programs to give caregivers a free break
