Help! I'm stuck on the carousel and they won't let me off!

Festival of Children Foundation partnered with the Orange County Register to create Season of Caring presents The Possible Dream. The goal of this program was to raise money and fund the dreams of ten children's charities.

Together, they raised almost enough to fund all ten dreams at 100%.

But almost wasn't good enough. To close the gap and raise the final dollars, they came up with a crazy idea.

They put a bunch of people on the Carousel at South Coast Plaza and we wouldn't let them off until they had raised the remaining money. In the end, they raised more than $70,000 and successfully closed the gap.

No cheating!

There was also plenty of beverages, beer and wine and of course Wahoo's to keep the riders full of energy! Thank you to everyone who participated!
