Eric Grumbine of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a Family Dream Trip. Eric lives with the challenges of Cerebral Palsy.
“We enjoyed some pizza, and Eric went on a mini go-kart track with Dad. He also got to have some ice cream with his sister. We enjoyed some restaurants that we would never get to go to on our own; that was a lot of fun! We surprised Eric and took him to Supercharged, a huge two-story Arcade/Go-Kart place, for him and Dad to ride REAL GO-KARTS! This is where Eric had THE MOST FUN!! Look at the SMILE!! It tells All!! Thank You, Sunshine Foundation!” said Eric’s parents.

To make these dreams a reality for children that may be turned away from other wish-granting organizations that require a life-threatening or critical diagnosis, Sunshine Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations.
Eric’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through a generous donation from the Sunshine Foundation All-Volunteer Joan Jake Memorial Chapter annual Bike-A-Thon. You can also make dreams come true by donating at www.sunshinefoundation.org.
The most common request is a Magical Dream to visit Disney World, Legoland, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios while choosing to stay at the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village near Disney.
